Program Overview

Prepare for a career in the ecotourism industry leading authentic learning experiences that respect local ecological principles. This outdoor adventure program utilizes an experiential learning approach that allows students to gain hands-on experience, develop skills and earn certifications. What could be better than a career sharing the wonder and beauty of nature with others?

Your Learning Experience
To prepare you for the dynamic and complex ecotourism industry, this outdoor adventure diploma program has been built on three key pillars:

  • Adventure Expedition
  • Interpretive Naturalist
  • Business Entrepreneurship

You’ll study marketing and business strategies, along with ecological and science-based courses in flora and fauna, geology, adventure guiding, environmental interpretation and education, management of national and heritage of natural areas, and wilderness first aid. Watch our program video to learn more.

Our Expedition 3 provides students with an opportunity to use their program skills to complete a multi-day canoe trip, enabling students to work collaboratively and gain essential canoe-tripping experience.

Students have the opportunity to receive 16 outdoor certifications upon graduation, ensuring they have the skills to be successful in a variety of relevant disciplines. When finished the program, you’ll graduate with a holistic view of the natural world, and with knowledge of the conservation, tourism and business sides of the adventure industry.

The Adventure Expeditions and Interpretive Leadership (Co-op) program, leading to a two-year Ontario College Diploma, provides the training, practical skills and eco-tourism industry experience to prepare graduates for work locally, provincially, nationally, and internationally as Interpretive Naturalist leaders.

You'll have the skills to develop and manage resorts, trails, and interpretive projects. You’ll be able to design, deliver, and evaluate programs that will affect people deeply, and serve your passions for the earth in all of its wonder and beauty.
