What Guests Are Saying
I received the Welcome Package and have looked through it - this course is so much more than I expected and I am super excited for it!
-River Roots is EVERYTHING it promises (and that’s a lot). In 42 days I learned so much, not from reading or studying, but from doing. I came home with confidence, wild stories, new friendships, an expansive knowledge of bird calls and a reignited passion for paddling. The instructors are not only skilled, but great and patient teachers. I saw some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever witnessed and paddled stuff (swam some too) I had only dreamed of. I can’t say enough how much value I got out of this program. I will always highly recommend it to anyone interested in a career in the outdoors or a complete life reset. I was challenged exactly to my threshold and left feeling incredibly proud of myself. It toughened my skin and opened my heart. And as if I almost forgot to mention the best part…the FOOD. Next time a friend brings a bunch of freeze dried pad Thai on a three night trip in Algonquin you will laugh so hard. I am now a certified wizard of bush cooking and everywhere I set up my tent has a full kitchen with counters and everything. The meals you will cook in this program in the outback will have you feeling like a 5 star chef. When it’s cold and wet and rainy, your belly will be full of freshly baked cinnamon buns.
We are beyond thrilled to have created this program. Training the next generation of outdoor leaders!
The fastest abd most comprehensive way to enter the outdoor guiding scene. Jam packed with learning, challenge , fun and so much more. I am so honored to be a part of this course
River Roots is my favorite thing I have EVER done. Last year, I wanted to improve my outdoor skills through hands-on learning and River Roots proved to be the perfect choice for me. The program, designed by MHO, helped me achieve all of my goals as it gradually built my skills and challenged me to eventually be capable of leading the group through tough whitewater. The instructors showed incredible commitment to helping each of us achieve our goals. I left with many new skills both on the water and in camp. As we completed the last set of rapids, I was amazed by all we had accomplished, the sights we had seen, the memories we had created, and ultimately, the person I had become.
River Roots is a life changing program! If you're interested in a career in canoe guiding or in the outdoors in general, I would strongly recommend this program. The amount of industry certifications and experience gained in such a short amount of time is unmatched from any other similar training. I think for a lot of people, this program makes a lot more sense than an outdoor rec college diploma. You will gain similar skills taught by world class instructors in a much shorter timeframe and for a much lower cost. Obviously this program isn't for everyone, but if you're thinking of working in the industry, there's no better way to get into it!
