Skills are taught with a passion for life and a responsibility to self, others and the natural world. Being locally owned and operated, our courses retain a flavor and intimacy long vanished from larger schools. At ALSS, our focus remains on getting better, not getting bigger. Although most courses are not endurance tests, it's important that you be in reasonable physical condition. We teach you hands-on skills supplemented with lecture and demonstration.
Instruction is intense yet taught in a non-intimidating manner.
Courses are packed full of information without sacrificing attention to detail. Typically, one day of instruction in an ALSS course is worth two days at most other schools. Time tested programs are continually updated with new and exciting skills providing you with some of the best instruction you'll find anywhere .
