Wilderness Experience
Certificate Programme
|
Loyalist College and Survival in the Bush,
Inc., have combined their resources to offer the adult learner
a series of dynamic outdoor-oriented courses. The
Wilderness Experience Certificate Programme has been
specifically tailored to provide students with many unique,
exciting, and tactile learning experiences.
As an example, our Wilderness Survival Courses, taught mostly
in the out-of-doors, immerse the active learner in many
realistic and challenging situations; as well, students will
gain an insight into the psychological makeup of the survivor
by analysing statistical data and discussing interview
transcripts with lost victims; Moccasin Workshops teach
participants the art of making these versatile, durable and
beautiful samples of footwear; and our Voyageur Lifestyle
course enables you to paddle an authentic 8-meter North Canoe.

 |
All students are encouraged to learn,
develop, and progress at their own pace. In our classes,
experienced and novices alike will benefit from the
challenging, hands-on teaching approach. Due to the low
instructor-client ratio, participants can expect, and receive,
individualised attention. |
Who will benefit from The Wilderness
Experience Certificate Programme? Hikers, Scout and
Guide leaders, anglers, hunters, naturalists, educators,
personnel from camps, canoeists, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone
whose job skills will be enhanced by special knowledge of the
outdoors.
The Wilderness Experience Certificate Programme
