At Timberline, James has cultivated a program that is ideal for beginning a career in the outdoors. The staff at Timberline are caring, professional, and deeply knowledgeable in their fields. Beyond the staff, they have created a program that taps into the extensive network of professionals in Banff and the Bow Valley, giving you the opportunity to connect with them. In addition to their professional expertise, they are genuinely invested in the well-being of their students. The time spent housing students according to their best fit, connecting them with local resources like food banks and job centers, and organizing social events such as hockey games, dinner parties, photoshoots, and ceremonies is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Banff with Timberline and am grateful for the opportunity I had to connect with students of similar interests and to further develop my career goals. I would highly recommend it to anyone even slightly considering embarking on such a journey.
