Recently Arc’teryx has been bridging the gap between those interested in outdoor pursuits and the education necessary to do them safely. Arc’teryx Academy currently includes Backcountry in Jackson Hole, Alpine in Chamonix, and Climbing in Squamish. The program is unique because Arc’teryx partners with local guides to provide relatively affordable clinics to learn outdoor skills in each of the three disciplines. Additionally, Arc’teryx brings in a number of their professional athlete team for the weekend which usually includes evening lectures and contests as well.
