Classes

At ALI, we believe that nature is the best teacher. Our campus extends beyond walls and desks—it’s the vast wilderness, the rushing rivers, and the rugged mountains. Here, you’ll learn more than facts; you’ll gain experiences that shape your character and ignite your passion.

  • Discover for-credit PAC 300 level courses like Canoeing, Mountaineering, and Bouldering.
  • Explore non-credit classes such as Wilderness First Aid, Wilderness First Responder and Intro to Sport Leading.
