Students are encouraged to register and begin pre-course review in advance of the required deadlines. All students must complete all pre-course work prior to arrival on course.

For Outdoor Scenarios, we will provide snowshoes, poles, and transportation to-and-from the Scenario locations. Scenarios will take place in community parks and Yellowstone National Park.
