• "I appreciated the course structure and mixture of slides and teaching along with plenty of opportunity for us to participate (normally a difficult challenge to achieve via zoom!). The content was great...I am leaving even more excited to keep learning from what you and everyone shared, and I am excited to apply it in many future experiences, e.g. this college intro to backpacking course I am teaching."
• "Thank you for putting on this course - a NOLS expedition is on my bucket list but not possible for me right now - so it was great to learn these NOLS principles in the online format and think about how to bring these ideas and exercises back to my team."
