The College of the Atlantic outdoor leadership program helps students develop wilderness survival skills while generating confidence, building community, and experiencing the beauty, and awe, of Maine’s rugged landscape. Dozens of COA students take part in the year-round program, becoming Wilderness First Aid certified in the process. Many of these students will lead COA Outdoor Orientation Programs (OOPS) trips for incoming students in the fall.
