Practical & theoretical training by a Licensed Guide Outfitter... it's what makes the difference in the quality of the guide in Adventure Tourism. Chilcotin Ranch has been training wilderness guides since 1990. People from all over the world, from all walks of life, have graduated from their programs and have gone on to fill the employment needs of the adventure tourism industry throughout the world.
These Programs are about "guiding in the wilderness by horseback", and provide participants with a solid base of combined working knowledge and practical skills. Everybody can do this - beginners to advanced riders! Camping experience is an asset but not necessary. Accommodation is a combination of ranch tent cabins and alpine camps. Different educational moduls to choose from. Scholarships available - please aks us!
The Wilderness Guide Training Programs are intended to increase the supply of qualified guides in the industry, and assist in the diversification of the guide outfitting industry into adventure tourism. The working ranch is a Licensed Guide Outfitting business that offers outdoor adventure products during four seasons within a 6,000 square km guide territory. In addition to the Wilderness Guide Training Programs, they offer guide outfitting, fishing, pack trips, guest ranch adventures, grizzly viewing, hiking, mountain biking, and winter adventures such as sleigh rides, snowmobile tours and ski tours. This mix of outdoor adventure products provides a forum for a wide range of year round and seasonal employment, and allows to conduct training that is diverse and comprehensive.
