Meet Our Mentors

Meet Our Mentors

As  mentors, we hold space for participants, drawing out natural passions, gifts, curiosities and strengths while supporting the development of growth and edges. We come with years of training and experience  in nature connection mentoring and safely guide kids through risk-positive play. We’re certified in Wilderness First Aid and are cleared for working with children. We bring diverse and unique passions to our mentoring and embody full aliveness, curiosity and care.
