Oglebay Schools
PRTM home : Extension & Outreach : Oglebay Schools

 

PRTM’s nationally-known Oglebay Schools are based on a uniquely practical concept: to provide a way for experienced practitioners in parks and recreation administration to develop course curriculum and teach hands-on classes that are based on applied theory, as opposed to philosophical principles. This real-world approach is the primary reason why theOglebay Schools have enjoyed such long term success. Some of the courses have been taught since 1965, and more than 10,000 professionals have been certified through its courses over the past 30 years.

About the Oglebay Schools

"The best part...is the networking of people in the career field. The opportunity to meet 'like-minded' people from around the country that work in parks & recreation is inspiring.  You will leave...empowered and ready to share valuable ideas and tools with your organization"

--John Oros, Geauga Park District, Chardon, OH
