Our tested and proprietary risk-management system is designed to significantly reduce serious accidents and injury in all types of outdoor education and recreation programs. Our training process teaches administrators, staff trainers, outdoor instructors and guides the judgment required to make informed safety decisions in the field or the office. They represent the forefront of risk management theory and training. Field courses incorporate activity-specific technical skills—such as rock climbing, mountaineering, paddling, sailing, backpacking and biking—with appropriate educational progressions, human psychology and risk assessment. Effective Site Management® prevents injuries, reduces programmatic risk, and increases overall course quality.

We offer classroom and field courses specifically designed for program directors, staff trainers and field staff. Using a combination of lecture and hands-on training, each course addresses Site Management® theory and practice in detail. Practical exercises and simulations teach staff how to apply didactic concepts in the field. Accident/incident reports are analyzed to develop effective operational language and thought processes. Longer courses use video to thoroughly review field exercises.

Our effective outdoor program design and management workshops may be offered as stand-alone courses or combined with field and site management exercises.
