riverton, Wyoming
The Outdoor Education and Leadership program at Central Wyoming College
partners with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) to offer
wilderness-based courses like rock climbing, cross country skiing, and mountain
expeditions. Darran Wells, senior faculty member and professional training
instructor for the program, says the goal of the wilderness training is to “develop
environmental awareness and outdoor living and travel skills.” Sophomore
students have the opportunity to live at the Sinks Canyon Center in cabins at the
foot of the Wind River Mountains in Lander, Wyoming. “It’s the practical field
experience they get on top of the traditional classroom experience. My students
come away from this program not just reading about mountaineering but going
out into the mountains and doing it,” Wells says. Eliminating a 45-minute
commute from the main campus, these students can take advantage of their
location for wilderness course activities such as fly fishing, hunting, and worldclass rock climbing. The location provides the practical experience needed to
pursue careers in outdoor programming. “Because of our location we are able
to capitalize on all the public lands here so we can run programs out our back
door,” Wells explains.
About half of the students at Central Wyoming graduate and then attain
bachelor’s degrees at four-year universities, but other pursuits vary. Some
students participate in nonprofit education programs, land management
services like recreation planning or park ranger programs, or wilderness therapy
programs for recovery from substance abuse.
