Our People

The compassion, commitment, and joy that our guides and therapeutic mentors bring to their work every day define the experiences we create for young people.

  • Our dedicated and deeply committed staff bring their experience in adventure guiding, and activities like rock climbing, rafting, snow play, and more. 

  • Others are trained in providing high-quality environmental literacy experiences. 

  • Many of our staff specialize in psychology, child development, coaching, youth advocacy, and trauma healing. 

  • We leverage the diverse knowledge and experience of our people to partner with teachers, schools, families, social workers, therapists, hospitals, researchers, and other youth-serving organizations to produce transformational experiences that help young people achieve their full potential.

  • Everyone who works for us has personal experience with the transformational power of nature and approaches their work determined to ensure every young person can have these experiences. 

  • For us, a commitment to excellence means we don’t shy away from what’s difficult — rather, we lean into these difficult moments with compassionate support because holistic development of youth is crucial to creating a positive future for all.
