How important is self-study and preparatory work prior to coming to a course at Swan Mountain Wilderness Guide School?
The material we send in advance is relevant to what we teach. It is the most current information available (not some outdated manual that has been copied over the years), and provides the basis for learning what we will present in our programs. We do not charge students a fee for this, as we see it as integral to our program. We also don’t require students to complete busy work before you start your courses to justify charging you for the materials. With our course preparation materials, however, if you review these before you start our programs, you will undoubtedly learn more and get much more out of our programs.
