We're
Training Maine's
Future Outdoor
Leaders!
The Adventure Recreation and Tourism
program at Washington County Community College
was created in response to the increasing demand
for qualified, trained outdoor specialists in
the Adventure Tourism industry. The program Course
of Study provides practical, hands-on training
in rock climbing,
sea kayaking, white
water and flat water canoeing,
wilderness medicine,
backpacking, mountaineering,
scuba diving, sailing,
and a wide variety of other adventure activities.
Maine's outdoor environment
is the ideal place to study how Adventure
Tourism is quickly becoming the fastest
growing industry in the world. From paddling
Maine's wild rivers, to kayaking the beautiful
coast, the Adventure Recreation and Tourism
program is well seated in the heritage
and culture of all that Maine's natural
environment has to offer.
 The
purpose of the Adventure Recreation and
Tourism program is to equip students with
a strong foundation in economic, cultural,
and environmental studies related to the
Adventure Tourism industry through a variety
of challenging and engaging field experiences.
This knowledge base allows students to
make informed decisions while promoting
environmental and cultural stewardship
The Adventure Recreation and
Tourism program balances theoretical knowledge
with hands-on, practical skills enabling
students to take effective leadership
roles in planning, coordinating, and guiding
recreational adventures.
