When most students graduate from a college training program, they have a certificate to prove their achievements. When Josh Fog became a graduate of National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), he carried away not only documentation of what he had accomplished, but also the experience of living nearly100 days in wilderness settings ranging from mountains to deserts.

Fog, a sophomore at the University of Wyoming, is studying education and wants to teach after he graduates. Both of his parents, David and Kelley Fog, are teachers in the Emmetsburg Community School District.

I wish I had been more into this stuff before I was married. I would love to do this program but kids throw a wrench in the works.

Scott Fisher got his start at NOLS. He has an amazing story.
