INSTRUCTION

Outdoor Adventures offers two avenues for those looking to get more out of their recreational experiences. 

Michigan Outdoor Leadership Semester [MOLS] is a semester long clinic series offered in the Fall and Winter semesters.   MOLS clinics provide participants with the opportunity to learn wilderness skills and gain confidence in leadership situations. Each clinic teaches the fundamentals of “Leave No Trace” travel and camping skills, technical outdoor skills, and offers the experience to receive instruction in a hands-on workshop setting.  These clinics are designed to be an introduction to outdoor skills for those wishing to gain experience in outdoor recreation.

M-ROCK CLIMBING CLASSES

This year we will be offering two different types of classes.  A class for beginners, and then a subsequent class that will add onto the skill set acquired from the previous class.

Introduction to Movement:

This class is for the beginner climber.  The class focuses heavily on acquiring a core set of skills allowing a climber to climb efficiently and comfortably.  The majority of the class will be dedicated to traverses and top roping that enforce good footwork and proper body position.       
Session 1: May 13 - June 5, Tu & Th 5-7 PM
Session 2: July 15 - August 7, Tu & Th 5-7 PM

Introduction to Technique:

This class follows the Introduction to Movement and targets climbers below V3.  The class focuses on transferring the core set of skills learned from the Movement class into specific techniques to strengthen a climber’s ability.  The focus again will be on climbing efficiently and comfortably.  The majority of the class will be dedicated to working through bouldering problems that provoke specific techniques.
Current teacher: Jordan Washburn, jordan.washburn@gmail.com
June 30 - August 18, Mon. 5-7 PM
