Transformative Outdoor Adventures

Connecting People to the Natural World
I've been involved in outdoor education and adventure programs since 1983. Over the years, I've helped conect many people to the natural world. I work with schools, groups, families and organizations to provide them with exceptional outdoor expereinces.
Spending quality time in the natural world is restorative, healing and a lot of fun. Outdoor programs focus on small group adventures, custom designed to meet your needs.
By taking time to appreciate the natural world, we can become more effective stewards and champions for preservation, conservation and restoration. The mountains, rivers, deserts and seashore are calling, come out and connect with that vital part of your self, free from the distractions of work, school, city life.
Transformative Outdoor Adventures - where connecting with the natural world leads to personal growth and development. Many outdoor programs strive to conect people with the natural world. Connection requires appreciation, so we start there by developing a sense of appreciation of self, others, place and the ecosystem that sustains us.
We offer programs in Joshua Tree National Park, Death Valley National Park, Morro Bay State Park, the Sierra Nevada and Santa Monica Mountains.
I'm a course provider for the Professional Climbing Instructors Association. PCIA trains and certifies indoor and outdoor climbing instructors to teach groups of beginning climbers the essential skills involved in rock climbing. We focus on creating great teachers, who can effectively and thoughtfully communicate a wide variety of skills to beginning climbers.
Previous clients include private and university climbing gyms, outdoor leadership programs from California State Universities, University of California and private universities, outdoor education programs, summer camps, business and governmet organizations.
Rock climbing is a great way to connect with the natural world and your self and the people you climb with. Powerful metaphors for life and change exist in climbing. I have been leading rock climbing programs for over 25 years. Come join us for an introduction to this transformative sport.
Rock Climbing programs are offerd in Joshua Tree, the Sierra Nevada, Morro Bay and our secret location in the Santa Monica Mountains. Programs are available year round for small groups, schools, families (father & son, mother & daughter programs), businesses and teams.
