Our Story
Our mission is to train our clients to explore, protect, and lead with confidence so that they can get the most out of their outdoor adventures.
We accomplish our mission by providing our clients the skills and knowledge to both effectively function in the wilderness, from traditional backcountry to urban disasters, and to appropriately respond to emergencies while awaiting rescue or backup.
With nearly two decades in business, we have trained more than 1,200 clients and delivered more than 750 courses.
We are privileged to work with a truly diverse mix of clients of multiple skill levels and backgrounds, from day-hikers to health care providers to professional responders to military servicemen and women.
The True North Credo
Our culture is important to us, and we incorporate it into everything we do. Because your success depends on great experiences, we make sure we provide keys to unlock it.
ExploreIn our hearts, we are outdoor enthusiasts, we are explorers, and we want to give all of our students the skills and knowledge they need to confidently tackle any adventure. We will share all we know with you to help you thrive in any situation.
ProtectThe right skills can help you remain calm, retain focus, and confidently navigate emergency situations. We will give you the training you need to take care of yourself or others when you're miles from the nearest hospital and have no cell phone reception.
LeadHaving the skills and knowledge to confidently and expertly address any situation gives you the ability to not only deal with challenges efficiently and effectively, but also to lead and protect others in complicated or unexpected circumstances.
EnjoyThe ultimate goal of any adventure is to fully enjoy and connect with nature. When you can embark on an exploration without fear of potential challenges or the unknown, you can spend more time focusing on the beautiful world around you.
Never have I seen a man so passionate as myself in his desire to provide top-notch training and outstanding wilderness experiences to youth and adults.
Meet the passionate team of instructors that help you navigate the outdoors.
The high quality of the training at True North is wholly dependent on the high quality of our instructors. Those who work with us typically have significant relevant experience acquired in the military or EMS, perhaps both. Either way, our instructors are students at heart who are excited to share their skill, experience, and knowledge with others.
