The Western Regional Outdoor Leadership Conference (WROLC) is a collaboration of university outdoor programs, and this year the conference will be hosted by our very own Sac State!

This year’s WROLC theme “Rekindle Your Connection with the Outdoors” goes beyond simple appreciation, pushing participants to rethink how we engage with nature. WROLC envisions a future where the outdoors is not just for adventure but is central to sustainable living, mindful leadership, and ecological harmony.

Through discussions, interactive sessions, and workshops, we aim to break old paradigms and explore how nature can be integrated into our communities and personal growth. We believe that by challenging traditional thinking, we can foster a new era of outdoor leadership that values conservation, inclusivity, and innovation.

Join us as we explore the untapped potential of the outdoors and reshape how we connect with the natural world. Together, let’s create a future where the outdoors is not just a destination but an integral part of our evolving consciousness.

I am so thrilled to have been invited to host a campfire chat on Friday, January 17. Any university student is welcome to attend - registration through Sac State!
