Trips are usually 21 days long and most instructors lead two trips. Instructors with skill sets that are transferrable between programs may have the opportunity to lead trips in a variety of locations with different age groups ranging from junior high school students to college students. Staff members are required for staff training, pre-trip set up and post-trip debrief for all programs.

Staff Training

Broadreach and Academic Treks staff members are required to complete lengthy staff training before the start dates of the trip they are leading. Training takes place in May and June.

WFR

A Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification is required for every program. WFR is earned by successfully completing a 70-80 hour training course which is more comprehensive and rigorous than the 16-24 hour Wilderness First Aid course. For applicants who aren’t already WFR certified, Broadreach and Academic Treks sponsors a WFR course taught by Wilderness Medical Associates in late May. (See www.wildmed.com for more information.) The course fee is dependent on the number of enrollments and will include accommodations.
