Occasionally, various technical gear will be required throughout the course. All technical gear will be provided for in-class activities and outdoor activities. A thorough gear list will be provided prior to an upcoming trip.
As a homeschool enrichment class we do not issue grades or credits. However, this class is designed to help gain certifications in outdoor recreation and works towards official Venture Off certifications, which require successful completion of material to gain certification.
There is no cost to the parent or student because this class is a program of the Colorado Homeschool Enrichment. CHE is a publicly funded program to benefit homeschooled and private school students with programs to enrich their standard course load. All students must enroll with CHE starting in the summer to be prepared to start class in the fall. Eligible students must NOT be enrolled in any other publicly funded program at the time of enrollment.
Ineligible students may pay $4400 out of pocket for the course.
The class will be taught under the direct supervision of Titus Frederick and his team of instructors. Titus has engaged in Outdoor Recreation for many years, and also works as an Adventure Guide for Venture Off. Venture Off specializes in taking groups and schools canyoneering, climbing, and camping. Titus has also been working with youth for 9 years.
