What kinds of courses does BOSS offer?
A. There are four main course types: Field Courses, Skills Courses, Explorer Courses and Custom Courses. Field Courses The BOSS Field Course has been our signature trip since 1968: Ultra-light travel through Southern Utah’s mountains, mesas and canyons with little more than a blanket, poncho, and a knife. No tents, sleeping bags, stoves, or backpacks, and definitely no watches, radios, or cellphones. Your goal is to learn to ‘live in the now’ as your small group hikes many miles and learns the skills of traditional Puebloan cultures. Not for the faint of heart, a BOSS Field Course is for those seeking a challenge and a chance to renew; offered in 7, 14, and 28-day formats. Skills Courses BOSS Skills Courses are typically held in our Durfey Creek Basecamp in an aspen meadow at 9,000 feet above sea level, with possible day and/or overnight trips into the desert for gathering. Some of BOSS’s best instructors will teach you primitive survival skills like cordage, fires, shelters, tracking,
