SOOP leaders
OEP instructor Mike Frank talks about adjusting pack fit during backpacking skills training, Big Basin.
SOOP leaders are Stanford undergraduate or graduate students who are certified in the following areas:
teaching backpacking skills, through a SOOP-sponsored weekend workshop taught by an Outdoor Education Program instructor,
working with youth, through a SOOP-sponsored workshop, and
first aid, through a Red Cross First Aid and CPR certification, a Wilderness First Aid certification, or a Wilderness First Responder certification.
How to become a SOOP leader
We have application rounds for leaders at the beginning of each season, though welcome anyone who's psyched to teach kids about the outdoors year-round. If you think you'd make a good SOOP leader, please use the Contact page to get in touch with us.
