 "Attending the Maine Guide School at the Maine's Outdoor Learning Center was an incredibly rewarding experience. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about the outdoors. Their hands-on approach and deep understanding of Maine’s wilderness gave me the confidence and skills I needed to succeed. Thanks to their guidance, I passed my Maine Guide exam and feel prepared to lead others safely and responsibly in the backcountry. I’m proud to be part of the Maine Guide tradition—and I couldn’t have done it without MOLC!"  - Mike Webber
