Our Chilcotin Holidays mentor guides empower you to learn new skills, connect with nature and contribute to the group environment, allowing you to undergo a personal transformation in an authentic wilderness environment. Being a mentor guide is so much more than just showing you the mountains in a relaxing holiday.

The Wilderness Stewardship Foundation is committed to protecting wildlife, championing responsible land management and conserving the environment long into the future. Their work is focused on the unique ecosystem of the South Chilcotin Mountains.

As wilderness stewards, we record Bighorn Sheep sightings to aid in conservation efforts by creating an accurate count of the sheep in the area. Recording the number of Bighorn Sheep in the area is vital to understanding the population, determine survival rates and assess how best we can work for the conservation of the species in nature.

Chilcotin Holidays provides unique transformational travel wilderness experiences which allow you to get involved in local culture and make your contribution to nature conservation. What people want from travel has changed in the last decade. An eco-tourism experience, in the form of a horse packing trip, is the perfect way to make a positive and enduring difference for our environment, allowing you to experience a personal transformation.

The greatest lessons we learn at the ranch are about ourselves as we experience personal growth and gain confidence. Life at the ranch teaches us many valuable skills, from shoeing and packing horses, to navigating through the wilderness and this empowers us to be more. We face any challenge with responsibility and positivity and take our own initiative. Now, our futures are exciting, not scary. This is my transformational journey.

The ranch is the perfect environment to get out of your comfort zone, to grow and evolve. Maaike needed to make a change and the ranch was the right place to do this. Here, she learned to embrace every challenge and begin her transformational journey.
