"John, Tami, and Greg, Thank you all so much
for the fantastic guide course! I had no idea
what to expect, but the week was more FUN
and Informative than I could have imagined.
Your knowledge + understanding of the
material plus your guiding experience was
invaluable. The added camaraderie and
instant acceptance created the best learning
experience I have ever been a part of.
I will be recommending MOLC to anyone who
will listen and I look forward to our paths
crossing again. Thank you for being the
Highlight of my summer. I will cherish both
the memories and the knowledge."
Best Regards, Kelton Loper
"I really enjoyed the Maine Guide training
this past weekend.
Not only do I feel more prepared for the test,
but it was also a really great way for me to
gauge my own experience.
I wasn't that confident beforehand,
but I definitely feel confident now.
Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom!"

My Father and I just went through their
Online course they adapted due to
Covid restrictions.
Even with such an unforeseen catastrophic event
like Covid-19 popping up, MOLC
adapted and ran with it. From First Aid to
animal identification they had it covered
and didn’t just dump info on you.
The way information was introduced then taught
was very easy for a non tech savvy person
like me over the computer. I feel very confident
for my test and you will too after taking
any of their courses.
Thank you so much Tami, John, and Greg!

"Wanted to send a great big thanks to Maine's Outdoor Learning Center, John & Tami and Gregory Sarnacki for teaching me the ways. They are truly masters of the outdoors as well as real fine gents." - John Moore
"Hi John,
I just wanted to thank you again on amazing class (at Howells 4/13 – 4/16)!!! I got so much out if the class – not just being prepared for the exam, but in knowledge over and above as well. Amazing!!!
When I looked into these classes, they seemed to be all similar. I asked my friends Christi Holmes and Jeannie Cote and they both said they went thru your class and loved it. That was enough for me so I signed up. I can see why your school stands above the rest and really felt like it was in “the best” class/school. It was very professionally run, yet laid back and super informative – worth every dime.
Thanks to you and Greg, I feel more than prepared to take the Fishing and Rec exam on 5/4. I’ll be refreshing the material numerous times before the exam but feel I have good chance at passing the first time.
Thanks again!
Your friend, Bob Backiel"
" John/Greg,
Thank you for the training last week! The curriculum, written material, instruction, and hands-on training were outstanding. It was an incredible amount of material. The training modules were interesting, interactive and memorable. Thanks for mixing it up, keeping it fun and getting our team through the day long classes.
I can't imagine applying for a Maine Guide license without attending this course first. More than the formal training, I appreciate both of you sharing your personal experiences and lessons learned from a lifetime of guiding. I've always done better in life when I had a terrific coach or mentor helping me achieve my goals. Thank you for being there for me and my classmates as we pursue our goal of becoming a Registered Maine Guide!
Be well, and let me know if you are ever in the Windham/Sebago Lake area."

"I can't imagine taking my guide's exam without taking this course. The Zoom format made the whole process very relaxing and easier to learn and absorb. Thanks a lot for everything." Nicole S.
" Thanks again for an EXCELLENT class! It was everything I expected and so much more."
All the best, Bob Latshaw
