Educational Videos by NOLS

We are excited to announce the start to a partnership with the National Outdoor Leadership School, more commonly referred to as NOLS, to bring their 50 year background in adventure education to our audience.

With the help of NOLS, we will be featuring their educational videos on the Outdoor Project Dispatch and on a newly created NOLS video channel.

If you aren't familiar with NOLS, the organization focuses on in the field wilderness education and leadership training. Over 250,000 students have graduated from their courses over the past 50 years.
