Mail while on course: Mail will be delivered either during a resupply or at the end of course. Any mail received after the course, or too late to be delivered, will be forwarded to the student's address on file. To ensure a timely delivery to your student please make sure letters and mail have arrived at least 3 days prior to the course end date. This may mean writing your letters before your student has started course. Due to our remote setting, packages and letters may take up to a week to be delivered to our base camp, please plan ahead. Some courses may have a backcountry horse supported resupply and students will be unable to receive packages until course end due to limited space/weight.

30‐Day Courses: 2 resupplies, roughly one every 9‐10 days.
22‐Day Courses: 2 resupplies, roughly 1 every week
12/14‐Day Courses: 1 resupply, roughly half way through course.
10‐Day Courses: Up to 1 resupply possible, depending on course type.
<10 Day Courses: No resupply scheduled. Mail will be delivered after course.

Mail Tips: Students love to receive supportive and encouraging letters, and this is the most common type of mail students receive. It's also the easiest for our staff to get out to them. Packages are subject to opening prior to delivery to the student. If you're sending a package with edible items, please consider the following: chocolate will likely melt and is not advised, student or staff may have allergies so please do not send nuts or other common allergens, and you should send enough for everyone in the crew to share (12 is a good number)!
