History with Project Adventure

I have worked closely with Project Adventure in the past, and am eager to do so again. The past two summers, I have had the honor of learning under Bob Ryan as he taught two day programs for summer camp adventure staff, taking in much of his knowledge from pioneering the field. The past spring I visited PA in Beverly and had the privilege of learning from Josie Martian as she taught a Technical Skills Intensive workshop.


I have really been inspired by my interactions with Project Adventure and their staff, and believe firmly in their mission of uplifting and bringing out the best in people through adventure, and would love a chance to be part of the team.
