Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the Wild Rockies Field Institute (WRFI). To apply for a WRFI course, print and complete our application form and mail it along with the non-refundable $50 application fee. (See our refund policy below).

Each course has an application deadline. See the specific course webpage or the course comparison charts for these deadline dates. We do continue to accept applications after the final deadline on a space-available basis, but we encourage you to apply early to secure your spot. After a course fills, the remaining applicants will be placed on a waiting list or accepted into the course of their second choice.

Once you are accepted into a course, we will send you an information packet, including detailed information about the course and its particular equipment and clothing needs, the curriculum and travel routes, a medical form, an assumption of risk form, and a schedule with pertinent dates.

Your $50 application fee will be applied towards your tuition. To reserve a spot on the course, we require that students complete a medical history form and pay 25% of the tuition within three weeks of acceptance. If you have any questions, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions section or e-mail us at wrfi@wrfi.net.
