About Courses/Workshops
In the early days of Maine guides if they needed something they didn’t buy it from LL Bean – they went out in the woods and made it.

We are trying to honor that tradition by making as much of our own gear as possible. Our courses in wood canvas canoe building, dog sled construction, paddle making, etc demonstrate our commitment to the craftsmanship of Maine guides.
We also regularly offer Wilderness First Aid and Open recert courses as we believe it is our professional responsibility as wilderness guides to keep first aid training current.
Thank you very much for sharing your time, experience and the wonderful life that you have built with the dogs, yourselves and that beautiful country up in Newry. The best part of the trip was watching you interact with the dogs. I was repeatedly touched by the gentleness, compassion and strength with which you guided the dog teams. It was inspiring, for it was somehow reflective of the ways in which the two of you looked at life.
