This program is for anyone interested in taking their friends and family outside to explore and learn in nature: parents, grandparents, teachers, community leaders, environmental educators, professional outdoor guides and more.
Being a volunteer guide is a great resume builder for those looking to grow or expand their career in the outdoor, environmental education or conservation fields. Texas teachers can earn CPE credit by attending this course.
All are welcome to this training and as participants in FIN.
Create your own Nature Community and get outdoors with friends, family, or any group of nature lovers!
Developed to make our programs more accessible to communities in all geographic locations and to create access for teachers, parents and leaders who cannot attend in-person training.
ONLINE OR IN PERSON. We bring our staff to you to train leaders from your own organization, city, school district, or collaborative. This in-person training is customizable to meet your needs. Our traditional training includes two days of camping and learning, but shorter one-day sessions are also available. There will also be approximately three hours of reading and reflection to prepare for the training.
The cost of our GDP hosted by your organization, school, city or collaborative varies with location and duration of the course. We are also available to consult with individuals and organizations. Fees vary.
