What is the Wilderness Training Academy?

For 30 years, our partners Chilcotin Holidays and the Wilderness Stewardship Foundation have been operating in the South Chilcotin Mountains, passionately integrating our Three Pillar philosophy of Personal Development, Nature Connection and Conservation and Stewardship into all that they do. As the foundation of our philosophy, these Three Pillars shape our content to create a transformational experience for you.
