Courses & Expeditions with Wyld Heart
From the glacial blue waters of Patagonia to the famous big water of West Virginia, Wyld Heart offers transformational guide schools, ACA certifications, and skill-building expeditions for river runners of all genders and experience levels. Current offerings include the 2026 Patagonia Expedition, guide schools in Chile and Argentina, ACA L4 and L5 courses in Chile, a big-water rowing clinic in West Virginia in May, and an ACA L5 in West Virginia.
Whether you’re leveling up your technical skills, preparing for an international expedition, or stepping into your next chapter as a leader, these programs are designed to challenge you, grow you, and connect you with a community committed to showing up fully.
You can also book me for individual on-river coaching through Canyon River Instruction or ACE—or join me internationally for private, customized instruction in Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, or wherever your next dream river takes you.
If you’d like to bring me to your river or organization—whether to teach a guide school, lead an ACA course, run a trip, or speak to your team—reach out anytime. I love collaborating with communities and creating custom training experiences around the world.
