An incredible experience that will either A) give you a new skillset or B) teach you a lot about yourself
January 22, 2025by: Chris EngleProgram: Adventure Guide Program | Queenstown, New ZealandIf you're on the fence about taking the course, do it. It's an incredible experience that will either A) give you a new skillset or B) teach you a lot about yourself. Even if you don't end up working in the industry, the memories and stories you'll have make it worth it.
Spending time in the outdoors and disconnecting from social media was also a highlight.
December 25, 2024by: Hayden BakerProgram: Adventure Guide Program | Queenstown, New ZealandAll the climbing, especially around Wānaka. I got to develop and learn skills I’ve been wanting to know for a while like building anchors and setting up climbs for myself and my friends. Spending time in the outdoors and disconnecting with from social media was also a highlight.
Having great connections with people because you are living all your emotions with them
December 25, 2024by: Charlotte HebertProgram: Adventure Guide Program | Queenstown, New ZealandIt's really nice to see New Zealand in an other perspective than the tourist eye. Being able to travel around and do some climbing and tramping as a local. Having great connections with people because you are living all your emotions with them and 24/7.
