Specialty Open Enrollment Courses: Go For It- This course challenges the perceived limitations of both disabled and able-bodied participants. Activities such as rock climbing, rappelling, and backpacking are adapted to accommodate and challenge people with a variety of developmental and/or physical disabilities.

Wilderness Instructor - This 12 day course is a much more technical and strenuous course and is designed to train our instructors. It is open to participants who have interest in becoming either a Summit Instructor or who are interested in learning the technical, leadership, and facilitation skills needed to lead groups into the backcountry and facilitate their learning and growth through that experience. Participants will experience their own challenges and learning, as well as, learn rock climbing set-ups, rock and snow mountaineering and travel, risk management, small group facilitation, navigation, ministry and leadership skills, and experiential education teaching skills.

Adventure Leadership - This 7 day course is not as technical or strenuous as the Wilderness Instructor course but a bit more technical and strenuous than other open enrollment courses. This course is for participants who are interested in learning adventure ministry leadership, group facilitation, technical outdoor leadership, experiential education for use in their own church, school, or organization. This also may be used as a pre-requisite to the Wilderness Instructor Course.

Whitney Classic - The Whitney Classic is a hardcore endurance benefit bicycle ride covering 135 miles with 15,300 feet of elevation gained from Death Valley to the Mt. Whitney trailhead.
