Course Description:

'' Only one course combines Maine’s premier wilderness areas: the Allagash Wilderness Waterway and the Appalachian Trail’s 100-Mile Wilderness. The 100-Mile Wilderness comprises the final miles of the 2000-mile long Appalachian Trail and is known as the Trail’s most breathtaking and remote section. The 92-mile, north-flowing Allagash waterway takes you from the heart of Maine’s North Woods to the confluence with the St. John River, near the Canadian border. The Allagash’s heritage as a native canoe route, a site for river drives during the logging boom, and now as a protected recreational area make it a rich and fascinating course area. Rock climbing and whitewater canoeing sessions round out this already packed journey. Skill instruction includes paddle strokes, river hydrology, rescue techniques, backpacking tips, wilderness campcraft, rock climbing techniques, first aid, Leave No Trace techniques, and map & compass navigation. Begins in Greenville, Maine.
During your course you will be travelling expedition-style in canoes or with a pack on your back. ¡°Expedition-style¡± means that you will leave base camp on the first or second day of your course and not return to it until the end of the course. You will travel with all the food and equipment you need to conduct your expedition: stoves, tents, food, etc. Your group might occasionally sleep at the same campsite twice, but generally you will be moving to a new campsite every night as you hike and paddle along your expedition route. This means no showers, no telephones, no television, or any other modern luxuries that you may be accustomed to. You should come to your course emotionally prepared for, and excited about, devoting all of your time and energy to your expedition, your group, and your Outward Bound experience. The instructors¡¯ goal is to teach you the skills you need to become self-sufficient in the backcountry. The instructors will spend the early days of the course helping you master wilderness expedition skills, coaching you as you learn. As you grow more competent and confident with your skills, the instructors will ask that you take more responsibility for the leadership of the expedition. Neither guides nor counselors, the instructors are teachers and mentors whose goal it is to train you to travel independently in the backcountry.
