Over 100 years ago, FLBS founder Dr. Morton J. Elrod wrote "People do not ordinarily need a rest. What they need is a change." As soon as coursework begins at FLBS, students experience what Elrod had in mind and embrace a rigorous adventure for mind and body. The immersion-based format means not having to shift gears from one hour or day to another-start one class, finish it, then start the next. Each course involves hands-on learning under the open sky on all day field trips and overnight camping trips to relevant sites in the Flathead Basin including Glacier National Park. By attending the summer academic program, students can-accelerate their coursework and gain field experience, count on personal interaction with instructors, and pick up credits at a reasonable cost.
