Our Philosophy

Our courses are set in an environment of teaching, which generates an atmosphere of trust and relaxation, from passive enjoyment to active decision making.

All courses begin at 9:00am in Batchawana Bay on the date stated unless delayed by weather or access problems. We meet at a predetermined site, usually at our office to get GEAR.

Be prepared for a unique winter adventure and dress appropriately.

Participants that show up for the course dressed improperly will not be allowed to participate, and will not receive a refund!

If you have your own equiment bring it with you. Intermediate and Advanced ice climbers should be fully outfitted.

All (technical) gear is supplied for our beginner courses.

For ICE DAY and ICE 2 and INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED students we recommend that you stay locally

Participants are responsible for their own transportation to the office or to the rendezvous point for the courses.
