28-Day Field Course | Boulder Outdoor Survival School | BOSS. Join up to 11 other students and three staff members for 28 days to explore Southern Utah's breathtaking Boulder Mountain and glorious canyon country. Leaving the high-tech, modern world behind, you explore the desert washes and mountain trails with little more than a knife, a water bottle, a blanket, and a poncho. You can't get much more immersed in the natural world than on this course. The mental, physical, and emotional challenges may leave you 10 to 30 pounds lighter at the end of the course, but the wilderness competency and the greater sense of self that you gain are priceless.
Since 1968, BOSS courses have set the standard for low-technology camping and hiking techniques, where instruction is conducted with minimal intrusion of modern technology in environments that allow course content to be experienced first-hand. In line with the BOSS Positive Impact Camping philosophy, the 28-Day Field course has a decided emphasis on using renewable, natural resources.
