Master Guide Outdoors – MGO

What is a Master Guide Outdoors Expedition?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, an expedition is “a journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration, research, or war.”
This definition can be adapted as: A Master Guide expedition is a journey undertaken by a group of Master Guides and their friends with the intentional purpose of exploring nature, seeking to connect with God and our neighbor.
