Have you got the outdoors attitude, the smile and a passion for people?

If you answered yes and love missions in the sun, wind, rain and snow, the Canada New Zealand Double Challenge is where you should be coming next!

We are looking for people who live the big outdoors adventure, get a buzz out of sharing their passion and now want to learn the craft of professional outdoor guiding in two of the greatest wilderness locations the world has to offer. On the Canada-New Zealand double challenge, we take your talent and energy into the wilderness at Golden, British Columbia and into the outdoor playground across the top of the south island of Nelson, New Zealand. 

On the double challenge in Canada you will train with some of the best professional outdoor adventure guides in the world in skiing, snowboarding, ice climbing, dog sledding and snow caving. You'll spend eight action packed weeks in nature’s wilderness classroom on Kicking Horse Mountain, waist deep in adventure and excitement. This is real adventure at the College of the Rockies in Golden British Columbia.

On the Double Challenge in New Zealand the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology turns your wilderness classroom into the white water of the might Buller River and the blue ocean of the Abel Tasman and Marlborough Sounds. Spend eight weeks in the heart of three internationally renowned national parks to become proficient in white water rafting and sea kayaking skills so you can max out your adventure tourism credentials…
