Testimonials

I would not hesitate to provide positive feedback regarding the Conference at Wilderness Tours. The presentations provided me with a more profound view of my role and responsibilities as a teacher of Outdoor Education. Meeting with such a vast number of experts in varying fields not only provided me with the opportunity to find resources and make contacts with professionals, but also renewed my appreciation of the importance of Outdoor Education programs within the school system.

I've already made some amendments to my program for next year.

Thanks again!

Maria Maccarone, Barrie Central Collegiate, Ontario
