    GUIDE SCHOOL
The outfitting and guiding business is one of the fastest growing professions in outdoor recreation today. The demand for knowledgeable people to guide clients interested in outdoor and wilderness adventure is expanding rapidly. If you enjoy working in the outdoors, working with horses, hunting, fishing, and meeting people from all over the country with the same interests, this could be the profession for you. Can you imagine; having a job that you actually love to do? To end each day and be proud of all the hard work you accomplished? To get paid to hunt, fish, and live in the outdoors among horses, and wildlife?
It’s very possible. And the best way to get started in any new career is to “learn by doing.” That’s exactly what this school is about. I’ve been outfitting and guiding in Wyoming for eight years and I got started by attending a guide school just like this one. Now I own my own outfitting business and enjoy teaching my students how to become the best at what they do. Your basic fundamentals and skills are critical when starting a new career. Our guide school is conducted in the mountains from a western wall tent camp, providing the most realistic training possible. This is the best way for you to learn to live in the mountains and to take care of yourself and your future clients. There is no substitution for hands on training. Jackson, Wyoming lies in the heart of premier vacation land offering all the opportunities valued by clients requiring guide and outfitter services.
Our classes are kept small, no more than 10 students per class. This ensures that you, as a student, get maximum benefit from a high instructor/student ratio. Our staff of instructors are guides themselves and have years of experience in the outfitting and guiding industry. These guides make their living in the backcountry and we feel they are some of the best to be found. We cover many subjects and your four weeks will be very busy. We are serious about giving you the best possible foundation before you pursue your new career. We hope that you as a student will advance to be a productive professional, and we would be proud to train you and recommend you to other outfitters in the North West.
For those who successfully complete the course, assistance with your job placement is also included. To date our success in job placement has been 100%. When you arrive for your four weeks of training you well need to bring your bedroll, personal gear and a positive attitude. We will furnish food, tents, horses, saddles, and any required equipment needed for the course.
The cost of the schooling is $3,500. A completed application form and a $1,000 deposit will reserve your spot in the class. Please contact us for the latest information and exact starting dates in June.
