Here is what some of our participants have had to say:

Very individualized with a good balance of theory and practical experience. I loved the intimate nature and the individualized attention. The process did a good job at helping me learn new ways to process experiences and take a look at my own style.

Dennis Grove, MSW, Family Therapist

Excellent training! If you want to be really challenged to maximize the potential of your experiential/adventure education activities with clients, and maximize your effectiveness as a change agent, then take this course.

Roger White, Teacher, Rimrock Academy

I think that this training will be recognized as standard that advanced facilitators need to meet in order to conduct quality experience-based programs.

Michael Van Derwater, Senior Medical Screener - Pacific Crest Outward Bound

Training of this nature is much needed by facilitators to achieve better recognition for our field.

Jesse Russell, Program Manager - Obsidian Trails

It is an excellent training program.

Simon Lo, Experiential Training Director, University of Hong Kong
