The Outdoor Recreation Leadership Certificate is designed to equip students with the skills needed for a diverse range of personal and professional opportunities in recreation, outdoor leadership, and education. Learning takes place both in the classroom and through field-based experiential learning in the forests, waterways, and mountains of the Pacific Northwest Cascades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 19-credit certificate program can be completed part-time in as few as three quarters. Students who are interested in developing a lifelong wellness plan that incorporates outdoor adventure activities may choose to complete this certificate as an area of study to fulfill elective requirements for the AAS-T degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously known as the Wilderness Skills Certificate, the program’s name was changed to the Outdoor Recreation Leadership Certificate to encompass more areas of the outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed the Wilderness Skills Program at Bellevue College.  I have learned many new skills as well as amazing destinations for hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, and snowshoeing.  In looking at making a career in this field, there were many opportunities for learning how to design and lead great activities.  Overall, I appreciated the community of students and instructors as well as the emphasis on health and wellness.<\/p>\n-Adam Cypress, Wilderness Skills Certificate Graduate<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
