Outdoor Instructors Post-Season Tips

1.  Make sure you make time to renew your Wilderness First Responder

2. Get some friends together and go on a personal expedition. 

3. Challenge yourself the same way you challenge your students! Your challenge might be to learn a computer program like Adobe Dreamweaver or to participate in a public hearing.

4.  Look for gear sales.  Local retail stores and online sites are having amazing sales during the off season.

5. Swap services.  Let’s say you are a kayaker, show someone effective paddling stroke and in exchange have them teaches you or give you something you want.  

Challenge Course Personal Portfolio

The ACCT has spearheaded a tool for facilitators (outdoor and indoor) to log their time spent facilitating challenge course experiences.  The CC Prtfolio can be downloaded from the ACCT site.  It is a great tool for practitioners and our recommendation is to start logging your time now.
