“This course was such an incredible opportunity for learning. I was hoping for more awareness around skill development by learning to teach the skills, but it was so so much more! All the great tips, tricks and reminders on teaching will be so useful for me personally as a coach. Norm’s passion and willingness to share his knowledge is next level. I thoroughly enjoyed the content and delivery.

“This was the highlight of a two week vacation in BC. Tina is an amazing teacher – able to handle the different skill levels of our group from novice to experienced paddle boarder and my 15 year old had as much fun as his parents. We learned so much about the history and wildlife as well as paddleboarding skills, highly recommend this to all.”
-Phillipa Rubins, 2022
Norm started working as an adventure guide in the Great Bear Rainforest on the North Coast of BC in 2000. That’s when his passion for facilitating the powerful connection between people and the environment began. Since then he’s helped thousands of people experience the personal growth and transformation that can only be felt in the wild. His trips respect the land, wildlife, people and cultures native to each region.
