for American Students. (see tuition for more
details on payment options) Students may finance their lessons with post-dated

A. Yes. Once you have developed markets for your writing, virtually every one of your
outdoor activities becomes marketable.

free to seek Adventure-Destination and Travel assignments anywhere in the world. As your
reputation grows, lodge and resort owners will approach you!

become an outdoor writer?
