After an unexpected family tragedy, three generations of the Deetz family return home to Winter River. Still haunted by Beetlejuice, Lydia's life is turned upside down when her rebellious teenage daughter, Astrid, discovers the mysterious model of the town in the attic and the portal to the Afterlife is accidentally opened. With trouble brewing in both realms, it's only a matter of time until someone says Beetlejuice's name three times and the mischievous demon returns to unleash his very own brand of mayhem.

Students are eligable for academic credit via PRM 486 (4cr) Field Experience. OGDP is an immersive program that provides a smooth transition and educational process to become a Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) Trip Staff. Certificates of completion will be given to those students participating in a formal assessment of their skills and qualifications as pursuant to best industry practice and established Base Camp Cullowhee Lead Guide and Instructor competencies.<br /><br />OGDP focuses on giving students the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to become competent outdoor instructors and guides. OGDP Foundations and Outdoor Essential Clinics are at the core of becoming a trip leader and are offered during the Fall semester. OGDP is also Base Camp's professional development for current staff working as trip leaders and focuses on improvement in technical skills, leadership, and interpersonal skills.<br /><br />Becoming an outdoor leader and educator is a lifelong journey that starts with developing a core set of skills and knowledge. It is more than just being a climber, paddler or backpacker. OGDP gives you the confidence and tools necessary to pursue a life full of human powered adventure. Whether you want to become a trip leader with Base Camp Cullowhee, work for an outdoor guide service, or just looking to refine your outdoor leader toolbox; OGDP has something to offer everyone.<br /><br /><strong>OGDP Foundations and Essentials:</strong>&nbsp;All outdoor leaders need a foundation and a basis of knowledge, skill and attitude that informs their practice and Foundations serves as the bricks and mortar. Emphasis is placed on the history and key philosophies of outdoor education, exploring how people learn and how to foster positive group experiences, understanding the role or risk and responding to emergencies, and experiencing firsthand in field training with BCC trained and certified outdoor professionals. The skills you learn and ideas you explore will be something that are bound to impact someone during your time with WCU&rsquo;s Base Camp Cullowhee program.<br /><br />Foundations are an introduction to what we at Base Camp believe are essential theoretical, historical, and practical concepts related to Outdoor Leadership. The focus of Foundation classes will be on the awareness of appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills as it relates to Outdoor Leadership with particular emphasis on the relationship between people, the environment and equipment. Our hope through these Workshops is that you will begin to better understand the role of Outdoor Leaders and that you will start to develop an Outdoor Leader lens that will inform your practice as you progress through OGDP and beyond. Finally, we hope you come to these workshops excited to learn and interact with others.<br /><br />Three workshops have been developed to provide insight to the rich history and key philosophies important to understanding your role as an outdoor leader, about how groups work together (or not) and how people learn, and to understand the role of risk in our programs and how we address adverse situations in adverse settings. Each of the three workshops will be offered several times during the semester, all you need to do is find the one for each topic that best works with your schedule, sign up online or in person with one of our friendly BCC Adventure Shop staff and show up!<br /><br />For more information about OGDP, please visit Base Camp's webpage at the link below and select the Programs tab.<br /><a href="https://www.wcu.edu/experience/campus-recreation/base-camp-cullowhee/index.aspx">Base Camp Cullowhee</a></p>Student Cost: $100.00 (Cost includes all training workshops, 4-day technical field training, equipment, permits, food, and transportation)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)*NOTE: Required medical certificaitons to become a trip leader are a condition of employment and are obtained prior to working as a trip leader.

Students are eligable for academic credit via PRM 486 (4cr) Field Experience. OGDP is an immersive program that provides a smooth transition and educational process to become a Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) Trip Staff. Certificates of completion will be given to those students participating in a formal assessment of their skills and qualifications as pursuant to best industry practice and established Base Camp Cullowhee Lead Guide and Instructor competencies.<br /><br />OGDP focuses on giving students the necessary skills, knowledge, and awareness to become competent outdoor instructors and guides. OGDP Foundations and Outdoor Essential Clinics are at the core of becoming a trip leader and are offered during the Fall semester. OGDP is also Base Camp's professional development for current staff working as trip leaders and focuses on improvement in technical skills, leadership, and interpersonal skills.<br /><br />Becoming an outdoor leader and educator is a lifelong journey that starts with developing a core set of skills and knowledge. It is more than just being a climber, paddler or backpacker. OGDP gives you the confidence and tools necessary to pursue a life full of human powered adventure. Whether you want to become a trip leader with Base Camp Cullowhee, work for an outdoor guide service, or just looking to refine your outdoor leader toolbox; OGDP has something to offer everyone.<br /><br /><strong>OGDP Foundations and Essentials:</strong>&nbsp;All outdoor leaders need a foundation and a basis of knowledge, skill and attitude that informs their practice and Foundations serves as the bricks and mortar. Emphasis is placed on the history and key philosophies of outdoor education, exploring how people learn and how to foster positive group experiences, understanding the role or risk and responding to emergencies, and experiencing firsthand in field training with BCC trained and certified outdoor professionals. The skills you learn and ideas you explore will be something that are bound to impact someone during your time with WCU&rsquo;s Base Camp Cullowhee program.<br /><br />Foundations are an introduction to what we at Base Camp believe are essential theoretical, historical, and practical concepts related to Outdoor Leadership. The focus of Foundation classes will be on the awareness of appropriate attitudes, knowledge and skills as it relates to Outdoor Leadership with particular emphasis on the relationship between people, the environment and equipment. Our hope through these Workshops is that you will begin to better understand the role of Outdoor Leaders and that you will start to develop an Outdoor Leader lens that will inform your practice as you progress through OGDP and beyond. Finally, we hope you come to these workshops excited to learn and interact with others.<br /><br />Three workshops have been developed to provide insight to the rich history and key philosophies important to understanding your role as an outdoor leader, about how groups work together (or not) and how people learn, and to understand the role of risk in our programs and how we address adverse situations in adverse settings. Each of the three workshops will be offered several times during the semester, all you need to do is find the one for each topic that best works with your schedule, sign up online or in person with one of our friendly BCC Adventure Shop staff and show up!<br /><br />For more information about OGDP, please visit Base Camp's webpage at the link below and select the Programs tab.<br /><a href="https://www.wcu.edu/experience/campus-recreation/base-camp-cullowhee/index.aspx">Base Camp Cullowhee</a></p>Student Cost: $100.00 (Cost includes all training workshops, 4-day technical field training, equipment, permits, food, and transportation)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)*NOTE: Required medical certificaitons to become a trip leader are a condition of employment and are obtained prior to working as a trip leader.
