Our programming

We instruct a number of Outdoor Recreation and First Aid programs.  We are a member of the NFPA, Commercial Bear Viewing Association of BC, BC Wilderness Association, BC River Outfitters Association and other great training partners.   


We offer beginner and advanced First Aid training.  Both WorkafeBC and Canadian Red Cross courses are covered.  We also provide Alpine, Rock Climbing, Rafting, Canoeing and Expedition programs.  We train and guide on British Columbia's Northwest and Central Coast.   We also utilize key  locations in and around Vancouver Island.  


Our home base is located on spectacular Quadra Island - located within the Discovery Island.  This location gives us a natural central location for all of our activities.


Beautiful Locations

We live, work and play in this region of Western Canada.  We know all the hidden gems along the way to your final destination.  

Which ever adventure you chose you will experience what truly being in some of the remotest sections of British Columbia and Canada feels like.  True wilderness with spectacular wildlife viewing is standard with all trips and expeditions.  Rivers, waterfalls, mountains, ocean, and lakes are abundant through-out our region of Canada.
