Is Swan Mountain Wilderness Guide School just a way to get work done for an outfitter?
No. This is a big fear that has been fueled by some other guide school programs. The fact is that there used to be, and perhaps still are a few schools that used the students as indentured servants, but this is fairly rare today. Swan Mountain Wilderness Guide School stands on its own merits and is fully independent of the outfitting business of Swan Mountain Outfitters. Do we share faculties, resources, and personnel? Of course, that’s what brings credibility to the school. We have a state-of-the-art outfitting business that is growing rapidly due to our more innovative approach to guiding.
