This is an inspirited business that offers numerous unique classes taught by Raymond E. Reitze, Jr. A Master Maine Guide, author, and philosophy teacher.
Ray has been guiding trips in Maine for nearly more than 40 years. His extensive knowledge of the bush and traditional living skills were not learned from books or schools; rather, they were passed to him through a long lineage of teachers. For the first 17 years of his life, Ray had the privilege of living and studying with Grandfather, a Mic Mac elder who came to live on his family farm. Since those early days, Ray has felt compelled to share the skills and philosophy of those who have shaped his life since he was a boy. He brings to the world a gentle and humble presence, along with his down-home Maine humor. Ray's storytelling around the campfire is a special treat! He is the author of And We Shall Cast Rainbows Upon the Land, a book of wisdom and teachings. When he's not in a canoe, you'll find him tinkering on tractors or dubbing around the farm. Ray resides in Canaan with his wife, Nancy.
