Seminars & Instruction

Classes and Trips

Each year we introduce hundreds of people just like you to outdoor adventures, enabling them to reach new heights and develop skills that you never thought possible. For Example: with Paths Peaks & Paddles you're getting value and service no one else offers:

Most of our trips and seminars are preceded by preparatory classes and/or mailings so you know what to bring, where and when to meet.
At Paths Peaks & Paddles you are always welcome to stop by the store where you will get a chance to get questions answered and get to meet the guides and instructors for that class.
Paths Peaks & Paddles seminars/classes have handouts that will help you retain your newly acquired knowledge.
Anyone signed up for seminars or guided trips (3 days or longer) receive 10% DISCOUNT OFF All ITEMS at the store (excluding boats).
All group gear (stoves, cooking equipment, first aid kits, etc.) is provided at our outdoor sessions for hands on demonstrations.

The most important element however, is the incomparable value of spending time with our staff who enjoy sharing their vast experience and communicating their passion for the outdoors. Their skills are extensive and they are trained in the art of delivering a skill that meets and exceeds the standards our clients have come to expect.
