BAWT's Wilderness Leadership Training-3 Day (WLT-3)
Welcome to the WLT-3! The WLT-3 is BAWT's new three day entry-level backpacking course. The course consists of a full-day Pre-Trip Meeting and 3 days of backpacking, designed to give you the tools you need to lead youth on multi-day backpacking adventures. This course is a consolidated version of BAWT's 5-Day WLT. We find 5 days to be a transformational experience, but wanted to give another option for those who want the basic skills and cannot take 5 days away from home.
Skills covered include clothing requirements, nutrition, equipment use, map reading, group dynamics and more. Role playing exercises are used to give participants a realistic backcountry leadership experience. Food is included, as well as any gear you may borrow from BAWT for the training. Check out our WLT webpage to learn more about backpacking with BAWT.
No previous experience is necessary. We welcome whatever experience you bring, from those who have never slept in a tent before to those who have spent extensive time in the backcountry.
The course itself is an 3-day, 2 night overnight Friday-Sunday backpacking trip in Point Reyes National Seashore, plus a mandatory pre-trip meeting at our Oakland warehouse on a Saturday before the course. Food from Friday breakfast through Sunday lunch is included, as well as any gear you may borrow from BAWT for the training.
