Outdoor Adventure - Diploma Program

The Outdoor Adventure program prepares you for an exciting leadership role with a career in the outdoors. Half your learning in the program is spent outdoors on exhibitions and practical skill courses at Alpine ski hills, Wilderness Tours, Algonquin Park, and more. First-year students choose between flatwater or whitewater elective streams. Second-year students choose between a range of technical specialty and certification courses. Students can also choose to travel internationally in the program with elective courses to Costa Rica, Belize, or Iceland. The combination of in-the-field training, technical skills certification, leadership and risk management, and industry and business study create multiple career paths and graduates that are in demand. Entry-level positions, such as wilderness trip leaders, kayak guides, ski patrol, climbing or snowboard instructors are seasonal in nature and are combined to create year-round work and travel opportunities.
