Your Adventure Awaits... BOSS Explorer Courses.

For those who want to explore the wilderness of Utah without the extreme hardships presented on our Field Courses, we've created BOSS Explorer Courses. More information about each Explorer Course can be found by clicking on each respective link below.

All Explorer Courses offer a wilderness experience without the Impact phase typical of Field Courses. Hiking is common, although not necessarily every day on the course (for example, the Hunter Gatherer tends to establish a basecamp). Please note that on the Survival Rescue course, food and resources will be confined to those found within the 72-Hour scenario.

Prerequisite for the Hunter Gatherer Course
The Hunter Gatherer course has a prerequisite to ensure that students arrive with a proper foundation in BOSS wilderness skills. In order to take the Hunter Gatherer course, a participant must have successfully completed a BOSS 14-Day or 28-Day Field Course.

Required courses must have been completed within the past 5 years. It's possible to take both the primary and advanced course within the same season at BOSS.

Health & Safety
BOSS requires that all Explorer Course applicants undergo a complete physical examination and receive their physician's approval in writing prior to final acceptance on the course.

Please keep in mind, despite your physician's approval and BOSS's acceptance of you on the course, there are no guarantees.  Health and participation risks (inherent and otherwise) remain. It's up to you and your physician to determine if a BOSS course is an appropriate choice. All participants must be aware of these risks and embrace them. Please contact us if you have any questions.
