OA - Wintersession Leader Training Trip (LTT)

We're planning to offer Wintersession LTTs in Florida in January 2024. Participation is free (OA pays for all expenses, including air travel to Florida). The dates for this year's trip are Sunday, January 21- Saturday, January 27th. All students will travel from Princeton together, so you will need to be on campus and available for pre-trip preparations beginning at noon on Saturday, January 20st.

This form is to indicate your interest in participating in the LTT. We will follow-up with everyone to confirm eligibility prior to booking airflight.

If you need adaptions to the trip schedule for religious observations (including Shabbat) or other special needs, please email oa@princeton.edu

Below is general LTT information
_____________________________________________

Leading a group on a multi-day trip either in a base camp setting or a backcountry setting requires extensive training in outdoor camping skills, effective first aid, judgment and decision making, leadership and group facilitation. The final part of OA Leader Training is the Leader Training Trip (LTT), a 6-day trip which pulls together all of the skills you have been learning all through on-campus/virtual training. During the trip participants will be Leaders-of-the-day and in charge of the group including route planning, equipment preparation, travel techniques, map and compass, outdoor cooking, first aid and emergency response, and Leave No Trace camping.


In order to be eligible for an LTT, you must have previously completed all of the on-campus components of OA Leader Training:
- Wilderness First Aid
- Managing Safety Workshop
- Leadership Workshop Series (101 & 102)
- Outdoor Technical Skills
