Outdoor Training & Treks Resources related to Outdoor Training and Treks.

Dozens of outdoor training and trekking companies exist in Canada and the USA. This is a small list of some of the most notable companies. Each has there own philosophy and specialities. If one has a clear understanding of what one wants out of a guided trip or outdoor education experience it is much easier to find the right training.

Many time I have seen students spend lots of money on very general training instead of taking the specific training they need. No one institution, even BWI can offer all the outdoor training your need, pick the best training subject by subject and you will gain the outdoor education you really need.
