National Outdoor Leadership School Gap Year Program in the USA

Scared of college and its imposing brick and concrete buildings? Spend your gap year in the wide-open Rocky Mountains instead, learning valuable survival skills and building a sense of camaraderie with your fellow adventurers. This program is open to students 17 – 19, typically those taking a gap year before college or resting a semester or two before resuming. This NOLS program contains opportunities for semester credit; early hands-on learning is key! Often considered the young adults’ version of the Scouts, this three month experience will provide you with the necessary outdoorsy tips and tricks, all while bonding with like-minded individuals and making friends for life. Don’t hesitate; join NOLS and sign up for an incredible gap year exploring the majestic beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
