(COURSE SCHEDULE)
Twice a year, June and September
Every Place Wild Maine
Guide
Service conducts an intensive 3
day wilderness training program
for those of you that would like
to learn from the professionals
how to cook, canoe and the art
of the wilderness encampment.
DAY 1. Finds us cooking
up a storm using camp utensils
such as the Dutch Oven, the
Reflector Oven, Smokers, Wood
Fires and Propane Burners. The
baking of pies, cakes, biscuits
and bread, the preparation of
three main courses with all the
fixings in a group setting is
our goal.
Menu planning, organization,
packing and planning are also
taught. Good food served hot and
on time is always one of the
high lights out on a canoe or
camping trip and we will provide
you with the skill and knowledge
to make it happen.
DAY 2. Finds us learning
and many times re-learning the
proper way to pack and paddle a
canoe both tandem and single.
Using your canoe for such things
as shelter, a dinner table, a
sailing platform is but a few
uses for this craft. Paddle
techniques along with
self-rescue tops this exciting
and informative day.
DAY 3. Concludes this
intensive training program with
the Wilderness Encampment
subject. A complete setting up
of a functional wilderness camp,
a well organized encampment for
the large group right down to
the single camper. Different
camp arrangements are needed for
groups, a long stay, short stay,
wilderness bear country, or a
single person who is on the move
everyday. Learning the
essentials for each scenario is
important and will save you time
and effort if done correctly.
The wilderness encampment is
more than just a campsite for
you and your tents. It also
includes the organization of the
camp members, the delegation of
chores within the encampment in
order to make for a comfortable
and well organized camp group
working at the right time to
bring everything together no
matter what the conditions are
i.e. rain, wind, hot or cold.
This very important aspect of a
wilderness trip can and does
mean the difference between a
successful happy trip where
everyone stays dry, comfortable,
well fed and is up to speed
quickly on the camp routine and
knowing exactly where he or she
fits into it. Lots of reference
material will be given to refer
back on as you all go your
separate ways. Complete support
down the road is also available
to our graduated members as new
questions and situations arise
for you. Suggestions on
equipment and items that make
you more efficient with your
group or by yourself are also
available.
