beyond leadership
Outdoor Skills & Environmental Lessons, Close To Home!
We love our summers in Wyoming, but there’s plenty of fun opportunities in and around Omaha for our students to try. Throughout the year we have day trips and short adventures to continue our lessons at home. From day hikes and bird watching to indoor rock climbing, we stay active all year!
No matter what level of expertise they’ve completed or how often they choose to participate, these programs welcome all our students.

Past Adventures
Wyoming Toad at the Henry Doorly Zoo!
Last year our students got to see the behind the scenes conservation efforts of the Wyoming Toad at the Henry Doorly Zoo! We learn about the toad in Emerging Explorers but it's fun to see how BIG of an effort it is to bring a species back.
Rock Climbing
Indoor rock climbing is a great way to practice technique, knot tying, and strengthen skills to take back to Wyoming. Especially in the winter when we can't always get outside!
Sandhill Crane Trip
Every year thousands of Sandhill Cranes migrate through the middle of Nebraska. We take students to tour the Crane Trust and watch the evening flocks land along the Platte River.
High Ropes Adventure
One of our favorite team building exercises is completing the High Ropes Course at Omaha Outward Bound and other local sites.
Day HIkes
Spend a few hours on a Saturday hiking in Hitchcock Nature Center, Fontenelle Forest, Neale Woods and more!
