If you haven't heard yet, we recorded a live online webinar with attendees from around the world who had an in-depth discussion about preventing harm outdoors.
You will have to forgive the rustic approach, as we get our barrings in this new online platform.
Outdoor facilitators often model resistance, seeming held back when it comes to risky outdoor play... it's not always from a lack of skill, or even the will and drive... it's not having it written down, and someone to spitball concerns with.
This is the stuff that doesn't come up in most wilderness first aid courses. It's the before, the prevention layer that keeps first aid from ever being needed.
This webinar... Outdoor Harm Prevention for Outdoor Facilitators, is for anyone who takes kids, adults, or groups outside and wants to feel genuinely confident doing it. Not fake-it-till-you-make-it confident. Actually grounded.
In this live recorded webinar with people from around the world, doing the work now, we cover:
- The difference between a hazard and a risk (and why it matters)
- A probability chart you can use in the field
- How to train your team to prove they know what they're doing (not just say it)
- What due diligence actually looks like , and why it protects you legally
- How to hold your ground with a group when your gut says stop
I have been taking people to do risky outdoor play for 27 years... and now I hope to help you. So I made a PDF you can download, and a free place you can brainstorm problems.
And if you know someone who takes people outside, a guide, a camp facilitator, a teacher, a parent running outdoor programs, share this with them. This work grows because of you, not because of ads.
