The OCC’s Field Leader Educator course is designed specifically for educators. It is presented as a hybrid model that includes 8 hours of asynchronous on-line pre-course work and one day of in-person training. The ‘Field Day’ component will be offered as one of the Field Trips at the conference – Thursday from 9-11:30 and Saturday from 1-5:30. To participate and gain your certification you must commit to Thursday and Saturday Session.

The Field Leader Educator course focuses on the following foundational skills and attributes of outdoor leadership; mindful leadership, participant-centred experiences, intentional programming, systemic planning, effective communication, team building, and learning through reflection.

Participants who complete all components of this course will receive the nationally recognized Outdoor Leadership certification called Field Leader Hiking, a one-year membership to the OCC and peace of mind knowing that you are implementing industry accepted standards of practice.
