This course provides the student with the option of either completing a community placement or an international expedition. The community placement option provides the student with the opportunity to experience the reality of working in the field of adventure activity alongside a community mentor. In an apprentice role, students work in situations that offer practical experiences and require a scholarly examination of the agency, organization or institution in which they are working. The international expedition option provides the Outdoor Adventure Leadership student with the opportunity to plan, prepare and lead a wilderness excursion outside Canada. The student can select from a variety of outdoor activities including, but not limited to, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, mountaineering and trekking. Students must make a public presentation of the outcome and submit a detailed final report following the expedition. (exp 6) cr 6
