Does anyone know how much a NOLS course (30days) would cost?

3-4000$ and worth every penny. There are also financial aid options and shorter courses if that is out of your price range.

for more info check out:

yea all the NOLS trips are insane. I went on one in Montana. And there is also a company called "Overland" and they have some really sick trips too. But they are kinda pricey...

my friend did a cross country bike trip with overland. it set him back like 10k for the whole thing. and he was gone i wanna say half the summer.

if i were rich thatd be an awesome thing to do. (when i was younger)


sounded super sick though, he came back RIPPED.

i did a NOLS course two summers ago. it was probably about $4,000 but it was worth every penny and then some. it was without a doubt the best experience of my life so far

i went to NOLS summer semester in the rockies this past summer, greatest experience of my life. It was 3 months of kayaking, backpacking, and rock climbing. It was fucking amazing, you aquire great skillsets, meet sick people, and learn from the best in the wilderness education program. Feel free to PM me for any info, I can talk all day about NOLS.
If you can afford it, apply for a course, its an amazing experience that will change your life.
