This course is sponsored by the Northwest Outward Bound School (NWOBS) and is taught at their Mazama, WA basecamp. Tucked in the foothills of the Cascades, the NWOBS Mazama basecamp offers access to numerous simulation areas right out the door and within a short drive. The realistic simulation sites make this a fun place to take a WFR course.
Note: NWOBS sponsors this course as part of its 50-day Northwest Outdoor Educator Course. Alcoholic beverages, smoking, and pets are prohibited.
Lodging: There are many lodges and nightly rentals in the Methow Valley so there's sure to be one to suit you.
