Mike DiMauro
Mike is a Registered Maine Guide who spent his early years exploring the woods surrounding his childhood home. After graduating college, he went on to pursue a six-year residential mentoring program with one of the top wilderness skills schools in the country to undergo intense survival, outdoor leadership, and nature facilitation training.
Since 2009 Mike has helped thousands of youth and adults enrich their lives through outdoor experiences. He has worked as a lead instructor for Maine Primitive Skills School (Augusta, ME) and Earth Native Wilderness School (Austin, TX). Mike is also the co-founder of Nature Learning Online.
Nearly a decade ago, Mike embarked on a sailing survival trip, where he brought with him little more than a tarp for shelter. Inspired by the beauty of Maine’s coastal landscape and the abundance of wild foods found in the waters, he promised to return permanently. In 2021, Mike realized his long-time dream, building a forever home in Blue Hill with his partner Amanda.
For Mike, there is little separation between work and play. When not guiding others in the wilderness, he can be found hunting, fishing, woodworking, and furthering his knowledge of ocean ecology.
