“The Wonder Outdoor School series is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Super eager to brush up on my backpacking skills, I am now getting expert advice each week that allows me to feel better prepared and more equipped to plan my own outdoor adventures. Christina is super knowledgeable and experienced, and is also reassuring, upbeat and engaging. I would recommend this course without any hesitations! I am totally hooked.”

— AST1 Course Participant
We acknowledge that accessing the outdoors is an act of privilege and happens on the many unceded territories of indigenous people. This is land that is part of indigenous past, present and future. We are not there to conquer or harvest but to observe, respect and provide care. It is our responsibility to learn how to do so.
