Our legacy Snowshoe Leadership Training is back! The SLT is a six-hour introductory day course that covers how to take youth snowshoeing. Topics include use of snowshoes, safety and navigation in snow, and more.

Join us for our signature 1-day snowshoeing course in the snowy Sierra Nevada.
Our courses follow our signature "Train-the-Trainer" model, using experiential education, role modeling, and more to grow participants' technical outdoor skills and their facilitation skills as outdoor educators. This is what sets us apart from other commercial outdoor trips–we prepare you to bring your skills back to your unique community of youth and families and take them outdoors. BAWT specializes in culturally relevant education, so all lessons will use a lens of diversity and inclusion.
We offer a General Registration price and a Mission Registration price for our signature courses. Both of these prices are offered at a substantial discount from our costs to run the course, which helps us ensure wider financial accessibility for all, with special attention to educators working in settings that fit our mission.
A key component of the BAWT course experience is spending time living and learning in community with other educators and youth workers who want to get youth outdoors. Each participant brings their own unique skills, knowledge, and experiences to enrich each other's learning process, and BAWT offers continued opportunities to be in community after your course ends.
