Our purpose

In most outdoor courses, whether it’s a survival course, or an Avalanche Safety Training, you start by drinking through a fire hose. You learn a bunch of information in a classroom, and then briefly apply those skills in an outdoor setting. 

Once the program is complete, you’re left to your own devices. It’s your responsibility to find the time and people to apply those skills with, which rarely happens. Before you know it, several months have passed and everything you learned has been forgotten. 

At BC Wilderness Adventures, we aim to change that. 

Our learning environments hold you accountable to not only obtaining but maintaining the skills needed to be self-sufficient in remote environments.

We don’t subscribe to the “one and done” mentality.

Our trips allow you to apply what you learn in an immersive and repeatable way building confidence and depth of understanding.

You’ll walk away knowing exactly what’s required to thrive in the backcountry.

Furthermore, you'll get to do it while exploring remote regions of BC only accessible by foot with friendly like-minded adventurers.
