How does Overland select and prepare its leaders?
Overland leaders are carefully selected and prepared to assure all students safe, enjoyable adventures. Our network of educators and former leaders yields candidates from America’s finest colleges and universities who have distinguished themselves at every stage of their lives. All prospective leaders complete a detailed application, provide extensive references and undergo an intense interview process. Successful applicants complete Basic or Wilderness First Aid, CPR and lifesaving courses. All leaders also take our comprehensive 10-day training program in safety, first aid, conservation and group dynamics prior to the start of their program. The combination of our careful selection and thorough training ensures the success and safety of every Overland program.
