Where Conversation Becomes Direction
Sometimes the hardest part isn't deciding what you want—it's figuring out how to articulate it. We've found that the best pathways emerge when ideas get aired, questions get answered, and possibilities get explored together.
Clarification Over Speed
Rushed decisions rarely serve outdoor careers well. We prefer slower exchanges that uncover what actually matters to you—not just what sounds impressive on paper.
Context Before Commitment
Your background shapes which programs make sense. Whether you're switching from corporate life or doubling down on wilderness passions, context changes everything.
Realistic Timelines
Most people start exploring programs 8–14 months before they're ready to begin. That's normal. We're here for the long conversation, not the quick sale.

Where We Actually Are
We're based in El Paso, Texas—a city that sits at the convergence of three states and two countries. The Franklin Mountains run right through town, which gives us immediate access to desert terrain that's perfect for technical training.
Our facility at 2201 E Mills Avenue serves as both administrative hub and consultation space. If you're in the area and want to talk in person, we can usually arrange something within a few days. Just call ahead—we're not always at desks.
When We're Available
Monday through Friday: 9:00am – 6:00pm Mountain Time
Weekends: Email only—we check messages Saturday mornings and respond to anything urgent
During peak enrollment periods (typically January and August), response times stretch to 36–48 hours. We appreciate patience during those windows.
