The NOLS mission is to be the best source and teacher of wilderness skills and leadership that serve people and the environment. NOLS emphasizes group performance and teamwork, not group process. Courses are not abstract—they’re real expeditions where personal responsibility, leadership, followership and teamwork can make or break the experience every bit as much as the physical and technical challenges.

Final Thoughts : Final Thoughts Kellogg Leadership Expeditions… …are a serious, proven opportunity to improve your leadership skills (MORS in a real-world setting) …require a spirit of adventure (dog-sledding! rappelling! hiking!) and the ability to be flexible (you may not shower for a week) and supportive of your trip-mates (constructive criticism, people!) …a once-in-a-lifetime combination of adventure, fun, and learning (Seriously – when will you ever have a chance to do this again?)
