You already took the first step towards your wilderness journey by exploring our website content. It will be a Six Principle journey of Personal Development, Nature Connection, Nature Conservation, Self-sufficiency, Empowerment and Consciousness & Awareness. Now that you’re ready to go to the next level we’d like you to identify your specific interests, goals and purpose for your wilderness journey and how you will take responsibility for achieving them. This survey will help you to understand the experiences you will have in the wilderness, introduce you to our community philosophy, help define if this is what you are looking for on your journey, and prepare you physically, mentally and emotionally. 

Conservation requires a collaborative approach, so different wilderness experiences are facilitated by different organizations. All of our wilderness experiences facilitated by Trails to Empowerment, Wilderness Trails, Bridge River Valley Accommodation, the Wilderness Training Academy and the Chilcotin Ark Institute are based on the six principles.

This may be an unconventional approach to booking a trip, training, accommodation stay or to starting a volunteer program. But that is how we do things here, we take responsibility for ourselves and have a hands-on approach. We want you to be happy with your choice and experience the adventure you are imagining for yourself.
