About Program

The Adventure Tourism Program is the perfect way for nature lovers to explore the beautiful area in the Coastal mountain range surrounding Whistler and learn new skills related to various outdoor sports including mountain biking, alpine climbing, experiential leadership, backpacking and wilderness first aid, and intro to backcountry skiing & snowboarding and outdoor survival skills (in winter)

This is an entry-level program, so the entry requirement is just that you are physically fit with a positive attitude & keen to get out into nature, explore and expand your horizons. This program can be completed either over a full year, which allows you lots of extra time to work, make friends and enjoy Whistler life, or over the accelerated 6 month program if you don't have a full year off.

Whether you are considering a career in the adventure tourism industry, or simply want to reconnect with nature in a small group of like-minded individuals, this is the program for outdoor lovers!

Adventure Tourism Winter

I just ended up with my adventure tourism winter program at Whistler Adventure School. This program was different and very unique, getting more into the backcountry field.
All of those courses were taught by highly qualified experts in their field, who truly love their jobs.
It feels great to take on skills and knowledge that make me a more well-rounded outdoorsman and more capable partner for anyone I'm adventuring with.

Thank you, FX, Chris Lawrence, and all the other teachers and professionals for all their passion for this program.

Thank you Whistler Adventure School for this year!
