The most beautiful classrooms in the world.

We’re so excited you’re excited about WRFI!

The Wild Rockies Field Institute’s admissions process is rolling, meaning we review applications once we receive them. After a course fills, the remaining applicants will be placed on a waiting list or accepted into the course of their second choice. Applying for WRFI is a 3-step process.

If you have any questions, please e-mail our Student Experience Manager, Kelsey Wellington, at kelsey.wellington@wrfi.net.

As someone who has never been in the backcountry before this course, I can honestly say it is a life-changing experience. There's something about learning about the places you're surrounded by that can't be beat. WRFI provided the best course I've ever taken and I loved every minute of it!
