Becoming a LeaderWe are always looking for qualified assistant leaders to help with the Snowcamping Training Series! Assistant leaders are often training series alumni who became interested in sharing their knowledge and helping out. A first step in becoming an assistant leader is talking with your training series group leaders.
Note that assistant leaders need to be Sierra Club members in good standing, and typically should have a minimum of experience that includes:
- Successful completion of the Sierra Club Snowcamping Training Series course
- Current (within the past three years) 20 hr. Wilderness First Aid certification. Note that the snowcamping group typically offers such training annually prior to the Snowcamping Training Series (e.g., in December)
- An adequate level of fitness, competency with snow-shoes, and active snowcamping within the last 5 years
- Competent winter route-finding skills (e.g., using map and compass navigation skills in winter conditions)
- Basic snow structure skills
- Sierra Club Outdoor Leadership Training (OLT) certification within the past 4 years (more information here - note the login information in the top left of the target page). Note also that the snowcamping group typically offers such training annually.
- Enthusiasm and ability to teach others new skills!
