As the program progresses, students move into the backcountry. In small groups they prepare for, conduct and conclude trips, which simulate guiding excursions through courses like canoeing, hiking, and camping. Skills introduced early in the program are reinforced and integrated throughout. In the final two 13-day sections, students choose extended training and practice in wilderness travel and either an angling or rafting focus. The guiding business depends on people so our students develop and practice people skills with a focus on the guide-client relationship.
