Lander, Wyoming-based National Outdoor Leadership School brings $19M benefit to Wyoming, but is still in financial hole

October 1, 2025/

More than a year after shedding jobs and closing campuses, the outdoor leadership and wilderness medicine school shared new economic impact data at 60th anniversary event.

With multiple campuses, hundreds of employees and thousands of alumni, NOLS offers expeditions in locales ranging from Alaska to India and Kenya. The school is also a leading provider of wilderness medical training. It offers customized education courses, semesters in the field and instructor certification.

It’s got a lot going on, in other words.
