The Outside onboarding system keeps our standards high, our guests safe, and our experiences consistent. Whether we’re paddling through winding creeks, hiking coastal trails, or setting out on open water, we built the Outside Guide Training Course to be practical, repeatable, and grounded in the real-world skills our guides need to succeed.
