The Camp Dudley & Camp Kiniya Leadership Expedition is an unforgettable 15-day backpacking adventure designed to build confidence, leadership, and strong teamwork in the outdoors.

NOLS instructors will teach you essential backcountry skills such as cooking on expedition stoves, reading maps, practicing Leave No Trace principles, and traveling safely through mountain terrain. You will have the opportunity to step into various leadership roles while also learning how to be a supportive and effective team member. Through real expedition challenges, you’ll develop decision-making skills, communication, and the ability to work closely with others toward a shared goal.

This journey may take place in either Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains or the Absaroka Range, both of which are stunning landscapes shaped by glaciers and known for their dramatic granite peaks, sweeping alpine terrain, and crystal-clear mountain lakes.
