Classes

If you think the idea of traveling across a mountain wilderness, guided by only a map and compass makes for great adventure reading and daydreaming… being able to do it is even better!

Or maybe it’s venturing off into the hills, with everything you need to thrive in the backcountry on your back.. or paddling down a remote mountain stream, with the confidence that, no matter what, you are prepared for any circumstance…

We can guide you as you develop your skills in a wide variety of outdoor pursuits. As long time practitioners and nationally recognized teachers, we realize that the absolute best way to achieve proficiency is learning by doing. We want the lessons to come from interactive “guided discoveries” in the field… not thru classroom lecture and discussion.

Regardless of whether you are a novice, a practiced intermediate, or an old hand, our educational programs and trips are tailored to ensure that each person is challenged to be the best they can.

If your desire is to learn a skill, expand your experiences, or master a mountain adventuresport, we are your resource.
