Take a New Bearing Is Taking a New Bearing! - Take a New Bearing: the Outdoor Living Skills - Review

Camping Magazine, Sept-Oct, 2001

Take a New Bearing, the Outdoor Living Skills (OLS) program leader's textbook, is currently under revision and will be coming to the ACA Bookstore just in time for programming next summer. The OLS program teaches participants how to live comfortably outdoors and follows minimum-impact practices.

It is made up of five different levels that teach participants how to demonstrate skills ranging from outdoor preparation for long- or short-term trips, safety, and food selection/preparation to equipment selection and set up, along with other essential outdoor skills. This program can be used in any setting and can include participants as young as six years old to adults.
