This field training at the Chapin Wright Marble Basecamp near Marble, Colorado and is developed by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, which aims for participants to learn Leave No Trace skills and ethics as well as techniques for effectively sharing these low impact practices with students of all ages. This course is specifically for educators who take youth outdoors for single or multi-day courses.  Research has shown that this course significantly improves participant knowledge and understanding of how Leave No Trace protects the outdoor places we love. Participants will prepare a lesson prior to the training to teach during the course (topics organized by the instructor). Participants will either need to hike along the road approximately 1 mile gaining 800 feet from the parking area to the basecamp, or a high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle is necessary to access the site. Participants must bring their own food and camping equipment.
