The National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) is celebrating 60 years of inspiring leadership education, culminating with a community celebration in Lander, Wyoming, Sept. 25-27, 2025. The event is a time for the NOLS community to gather and honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future.
The event will feature a welcome by the Mayor of Lander, Missy White, and opportunities to reconnect with fellow alumni and instructors with the State of the School, Community Dinner, the Trail Mix vendor village with live music, and a movie festival. Participants can also enjoy outdoor activities that showcase the stunning landscapes of Wyoming.
“NOLS has been a leader in outdoor education for six decades, and we are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone with our community,” said Sandy Colhoun, NOLS President. “This event is not just about looking back at our history, but also about inspiring the next generation of outdoor leaders.”
As part of the festivities, NOLS encourages participants to engage with the local community and explore Lander’s rich cultural heritage.
