Outdoor
Leadership Training Seminars and Breaking Through Adventures
OLTS is a unique outdoor adventure organization offering
(since 1973) trips and training in rockclimbing, mountaineering,
backcountry skiing, whitewater rafting, wilderness backpacking
in the mountains, canyons, and deserts of Colorado, Utah,
Arizona and New Mexico. Our trips and courses are exciting,
challenging, and occur in beautiful and dramatic settings.
We teach basic skills for each outdoor activity and support
each person in setting goals, exploring personal limits,
breakthroughs in physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
dimensions.
Some of our courses focus primarily on technical instruction
in outdoor skills such as climbing, rafting, and backcountry
skiing. Others are more experiential and involve participants
in logistics, leadership and making group decisions. A few
involve personal transformation through activities such as
Tai Chi, meditation, music, nature ritual, and vision quests.

Outdoor
Skills Workshops provide specialized training in
technical outdoor skills as rockclimbing, backcountry
and telemark skiing, wilderness backpacking, mountaineering,
canyoneering, and whitewater rafting. Our approach
focuses on innovative ways to learn these skills that
are holistic and focus on self-awareness and the integration
of mind/body learning. Our emphasis is on safe procedures,
sound environmental practice, and exploring personal
limits. Our interest is on how these activities can
become lifelong practices.

Leadership
Training Programs seek to develop transformational outdoor
leaders whose orientation is holistic and who are attuned
to the nuances and integration of the physical, intellectual,
emotional and spiritual components of adventure experiences.
Outdoor skills and technical competencies are essential
but we give equal emphasis and commitment to intrapersonal
growth, interpersonal dynamics, development of community,
spiritual awareness, and commitment to social and ecological
literacies. An integral approach to all training and
learning is encouraged.

Breaking
Through Adventures are transformational outdoor experiences
which see nature and wilderness as a medium for personal
discovery, interpersonal growth, community building,
and connection with a higher reality and sense of wholeness.
Such programs explore self in relation to nature and
others, uncover our interdependence with all beings,
and examine our place in a larger cosmos. Climbing a
peak, rafting a river, or soloing in a desert canyon
become explorations of personal consciousness and opportunities
for self-reflection. Deep ecology and ecopsychology are
guiding principles for these experiences.

Corporate
Adventure Programs are designed to explore individual
limits and barriers to self-development within a group
context and encourage risk taking, trust building, and
the development of personal vision and commitment to
organizational goals and values. These programs provide
an opportunity to explore new roles, dialogue about common
concerns, practice teamwork and collaboration, and develop
a sense of shared meaning and purpose. Outdoor activities
such as ropes course, initiatives, climbing, orienteering,
peak ascents and whitewater rafting are experiential
mediums for developing these capacities in an action-oriented
setting.
