HSOR
The Himalayan School of Outdoor Recreation had an incredible experience attending the AORE (Association of Outdoor Recreation Education) Conference in New Orleans, US.
The event was an inspiring opportunity to connect with adventurers, educators, and industry leaders from around the world. We were thrilled to showcase our programs, exchange ideas, and explore the latest trends in outdoor recreation and education.
Networking with passionate individuals and organizations was truly exciting, and the insights we gained will undoubtedly help us continue to shape the future of adventure education in Nepal. We're grateful to have been part of this vibrant community and look forward to future collaborations!
HSOR offers a holistic approach to the study of outdoor recreation to better prepare the students for their niche career. First, HSOR is a strong combination of outdoor sports as a core curriculum supported by studies in management, environment science and communications. Sustainable outdoors recreation can only exist with environment conservation. Every outdoor professional must learn to preserve and protect the environment as outdoor experiences are delivered to the public. Likewise, and outdoor professional should possess basic management tools to take on the management challenges and responsibilities. Communications is considered a vital skill no matter what a student does to operate or manage an outdoor recreation enterprise or organization.
Second, the HSOR program lays equal emphasis if not more on field experience as class-room learning. The student spends ample time in the field whether it is the countryside, mountains, rivers, lakes or jungles. Learning takes place by observation and by doing through live experiences whether it is rock-climbing, canyoning, gear repair, tracking tigers or high-altitude rescue mission. The objective is to give matching experience alongside class-room teaching so that the students are ready to hit the ground running on their first job.
