Where can you find our courses?



Where can you find our offices?

Fresh Air Educators® is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario—Canada's beautiful national capital.

The Ottawa area is home to 1.3 million people, a thriving high tech industry, and more culture than you can shake a stick at. But it's also only a hop, skip and a jump away from rivers, lakes, forests, and national parks (just check out that map). Say hello to some serious after work outdoors fun!

We're also proud to have team members located right across North America, from Colorado to Florida, and we're always thrilled when they come to visit. And you're welcome to pop by anytime too!
