Wilderness Leadership Trainings

This course is BAWT's flagship offering and the course that allows full access to BAWT's unique outdoor equipment library. It is a powerful, experience based, 4-day backpack trip in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Read more.

Camping at the Presidio

This is BAWT's newest, most exciting program linking the urban, built environment with the natural world. Four agencies are partnering to make camping in San Francisco possible for the most disadvantaged youth. Read more.

Contract Courses

Occasionally, BAWT will contract our workshops for organizations with six participants or more. This allows for flexibility in both time and cost, and provides BAWT with an opportunity to tailor the curriculum specifically to the needs of the contracted youth agency.

Contract courses are not available during the months of May and June.

Contact

Please contact Kyle Macdonald for more information about contracting BAWT at: 510-452-2298 x302 or by email.
