This scenario session is only for those who are currently enrolled in the CMC Trip Leader School and have read the CMC Trip Leader Manual and completed the online training course.
This is a Trip Leader School Scenario Day. This casual hike will provide opportunities for future trip leaders to review the CMC Trip standards as prescribed in the CMC's Trip Leader Manual (TLM), address group trip leading challenges (based on real examples), and discuss concerns and questions with experienced trip leaders. Expect about a 5-hour adventure.
