Welcome to WROLC – The Western Regional Outdoor Leadership Conference, where we invite you to “Rekindle Your Connection with the Outdoors” and embark on a journey to redefine your understanding of nature. In a rapidly evolving world, where conventional notions of the outdoors are often limited by preconceived notions and old paradigms, WROLC serves as a catalyst for change, urging you to discard outdated perspectives and embrace a fresh, innovative understanding of what the outdoors could truly be.

Our theme, “Rekindle Your Connection with the Outdoors,” extends beyond the surface-level appreciation of nature. It challenges participants to break free from traditional molds and shed obsolete frameworks, encouraging a reevaluation of the relationships between humans and the environment. WROLC envisions a future where the outdoors is not just a backdrop for adventure but a canvas for sustainable living, mindful leadership, and ecological harmony.

Through thought-provoking discussions, interactive sessions, and collaborative workshops, we aim to dismantle antiquated notions about outdoor spaces and their associated systems. Let go of the idea that the outdoors is a separate entity from our daily lives—instead, envision a world where nature is seamlessly integrated into our communities, workplaces, and personal growth.

At WROLC, we believe that by challenging old ways of thinking, we pave the way for a new era of outdoor leadership—one that prioritizes conservation, inclusivity, and innovation. Join us as we explore the untapped potential of the outdoors, encouraging you to reimagine how we interact with and perceive the natural world.

This conference is your opportunity to be part of a transformative movement, where we collectively dismantle outdated mindsets, fostering a new understanding of the outdoors that is holistic, forward-thinking, and sustainable. Come, be inspired, and let us together shape a future where the outdoors is not just a destination but an integral part of our evolving consciousness.
