We use Ridge Wilderness for our team’s professional development and skill-based training. The entire Ridge Wilderness team is amazing and the time spent with them is our favourite part of the year. Dave is very knowledgeable, personable, and passionate, you learn a lot during the training, and the best part is, Dave makes it fun and engaging.  I highly recommend Ridge Wilderness, as they provide safe and enjoyable outdoor experiences for all ages.
