Outdoor Wellness Leaders (OWLs) are a team of students overseen by a Program Manager, who work to create, organize, promote, and implement OW trips and programs for the student body at UWB. OWls are trained in CPR\/First Aid, Wilderness First Aid, group facilitation, outdoor skills, risk management, outdoor equipment literacy and a variety of other skills that allow them to effectively plan and lead programs and manage the day to day operations of the Nest Gear Shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recognize the barriers to entry outdoors are lack of education and experience, equipment expenses, transportation requirements and a lack of welcoming or inclusive communities. 足彩app哪个是正规的 OW Program seeks to break these barriers for students through program offerings and the Outdoor Gear Shop. 足彩app哪个是正规的 Outdoor Gear Shop (\u201cNest\u201d) is a welcoming space that serves as a hub for students to access free outdoor gear rental and general education about trips and services from the OW staff.
