Educator
Adam is passionate about experiential learning and finds it inherent within the right natural setting.
Adam obtained both an English degree and a Teaching degree from Lakehead University in Orillia and was able to explore outdoor education through placements with the Simcoe County District School Board. He was able to work with many different schools across the board within their outdoor education stream and really sharpened his outdoor skills.
Adam is excited to be able to explore the natural wilderness of Blue Mountain WILDE School as it allows for incredible opportunities for the students - such as exploring how the impact of environmental immersion affects the mental health of those who are in it.
He is passionate about learning more about the land around him and is excited to learn from his students and fellow educators. He feels incredibly lucky to be a part of such an incredible educational team at WILDE School and is excited to bring his own talents and experiences to the table.
Adam began his love of the outdoors early on in life as he was dragged to local summer camps with his extended family. Although he was reluctant to go at first, he quickly came to learn the joys of being connected to nature.
He loved this experience so much that he wanted to stay at camp for as long as possible and through the years ended up working as the Leader in Training Director for a camp in Bracebridge. As the camp grew, Adam was part of implementing the first high school credit program within the camp and pushed his new students to be as successful as possible.
