Lydia is an outdoor instructor who is passionate about encouraging people to interact with and experience all that the outdoors has to offer. She hopes to help make being out in nature accessible to people where they can be challenged, encouraged, and immersed in a place away from their everyday lives. She believes that everyone needs to pushed out of their comfort zones to grow. Through every trip, she loves to learn from and lead participants through reflective, fun, and transformative experiences. She started in the field leading canoe trips, then found a love for backpacking and climbing. When she isn’t out in the field, she enjoys team sports, climbing, and music.
