Expanding Our Horizons. Wilderness Education Association Proceedings of the National Conference on Outdoor Leadership (Estes Park, Colorado, February 18-20, 2005)

Online Submission, Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Wilderness Education Association (Estes Park, CO, Feb 18-20, 2005)
This document presents the proceedings of the Wilderness Education Association's 2005 National Conference on Outdoor Leadership. Following a brief history of the Wilderness Education Association (WEA), 21 conference papers are presented. Topics of the conference papers include: wilderness education curriculum, programs, history, environmental ethics, expedition experiences, cross-cultural expedition, judgment and decision-making, journal writing, leadership, and liability. This paper outlines several paradigms of the adventure and experiential education fields and their relevance in forming a community of people. While there is little in the way of new ideas it is the coming together of different foundations of their adventure field in a usable way for a variety of different groups. This approach has been successfully implemented for school, corporate, family and expedition based groups. (Individual papers contain references.) [Abstract modified to meet ERIC guidelines.]
