Classes & Clinics

Hands-on clinics, classes and workshops in Colorado — built to help you gain experience and real confidence, in a supportive setting.

Skills You Can Take Anywhere

Clinics are short, focused and hands-on — a half day or a day spent on one skill set rather than a whole trip. They exist so you leave with something you can use on every hike after, whether or not you ever book a guided trip again.

Topics rotate with the season. Wildlife awareness and food storage, winter traction and layering, navigation and offline maps, and backcountry first principles have all run.
