What experience is required of Chewonki trip leaders?
Extended trip leaders are certified Wilderness First Responders and maintain current CPR training. On most water based trips, at least one leader will be a certified Life Guard, and all leaders have a Maine State Camp Trip Leader permit or are registered Maine Guides. In addition, our trip leaders go through extensive training specific to Chewonki’s own risk management protocols and wilderness travel methods periodically throughout the year.
