Backcountry Institute was established in 2000. Our mission is to train and certify Outdoor Professionals seeking to improve their skills and knowledge, in order that they may run safer, more professional programs. We do this in a rustic outdoor setting, outside the comfort zones that most educational institutions provide. The food is sumptuous but the classrooms and accommodations are rustic, with many classes held in the field, on the rivers, on the lake, or along the trails. This is outdoor experiential education at its finest! Click here for a complete listing of 2009 courses and prices.
