About 3 Minutes with a Maine Guide

Learn from a Maine Guide and have a great time doing it!

You don’t have to want to be a Maine Guide to take these classes. If you’re interested in simply learning, for the love of the outdoors, this is the place for you. Our classes are hands-on and patiently taught to no more than 6 people at a time. Classes are structured in 6-hour blocks with a short meal break. Our only goal is to make you safer and more knowledgeable in the outdoors.
