The digital edition of Effective Outdoor Program Design & Management (73 pages) is the essential "How To" manual for outdoor program administrators and field staff who are starting a new program, evaluating their current program, and simply want to get the most out of their program and courses. Written in an expanded outline format to facilitate its use, it accurately describes the programmatic BIG picture (including site management) in words and graphics. A notes section with a text field permits you to type comments related to your program or interests beside the related text. Clear graphics and text highlight this edition. The book is a valuable and practical component to any senior or graduate level risk management seminar. Note that training, mentoring, and critical thinking are required to master the material.

Designed as a companion to our workshop and courses in Effective Outdoor Program Design & Management, the manual can also be used as a stand-alone planning guide by those familiar with the material and a field reference.
