| OLS teaches participants
how to teach others, using skills as
the medium. Leave No Trace courses teach
participants how to teach others, using
a variety of methods with recreation
ethics as the base. |
| OLS is a skills-based
program. Leave No Trace is an environmental-ethics-
and principles-based program, which
uses the teaching of hard skills to
implement and apply the principles. |
| OLS has a narrow
audience—camps that specifically
teach these skills implement the program.
Leave No Trace has a wider audience—environmental
ethics and awareness applies to all
camps, youth organizations, and all
types of general audiences. |
| OLS is supported
by participant fees. Leave No Trace
is a corporately sponsored program (Recreation
Equipment Incorporated (REI), Subaru,
the North Face, Nike, LL Bean, Smartwool,
and Coleman are major contributors). |
| OLS is recognized
by a small audience in the camp and
youth industry. The Leave No Trace program
is recognized by federal agencies and
corporate sponsors. |
| OLS is a small piece
of the ACA puzzle. The Center’s
mission is to promote responsible outdoor
recreation—it’s all they
do. |
