An outdoor school that specializes in providing the highest quality guide training, outdoor leadership training, wilderness education, and technical instruction.
IWLS leadership programs take place in some of the world’s most alluring wildernesses: from glacier-capped mountains in South America, to the braided rivers of Alaska, to Africa’s wildlife-filled savannas. The programs include technical training in alpine mountaineering, sea kayaking, whitewater rafting, canoeing, rock and ice climbing, backcountry skiing and snowboarding, backpacking, and more.
IWLS became a premier Outdoor Leadership School by receiving accreditation through the Association for Experiential Education (AEE) in 2008. Accreditation by the AEE means that IWLS meets the highest standards for safety, risk management, instructor training, and programming in the field of outdoor leadership education.
