Writing Centers on the ROPES: Using a Wilderness Lab for Discovery.

Gamboa, Sylvia H.; Williams, Angela W.

Writing Center Journal, v11 n2 p29-40 Spr-Sum 1991

Describes an adventure-based initial tutor training program designed to promote effective teamwork and enhance organizational ability. Notes that an added advantage of the outdoor activity is that it renews the importance of principles that have always made writing centers effective by metaphorically echoing the mental challenges of writing centers.
