Fieldguides' wilderness leadership training is being offered this summer with unique respect to Camp Unalayee, though all are welcome and encouraged to join. For those of you who were waitlisted for Unalayee's program this program has been specifically created with you in mind. Our training will be done in a manner to replicate Unalayee's training, it will count toward any future programming you do with Camp Unalayee, and it will be taken as equivalent training in terms of being eligible for future work at Unalayee. Fieldguides staff are longtime Unalayee counselors and we have extensive experience leading Unalayee's CIT trainings.

The program will focus on learning, and being able to demonstrate, wilderness and outdoor living leadership skills. These skills include map and compass, backcountry cooking, shelter building, wilderness first aid, emergency and safety procedures and more. CITs are not only taught these skills, but are required to put them to use as leaders of their group. In addition, discussion groups and hands-on assignments are used to teach CITs leadership skills. CITs learn about group dynamics, develop their observational and listening skills, practice communication techniques and begin to understand the obligations of leadership.
