This isn’t about hiking…
It’s about helping students face their own journey with courage, gratitude, and kindness.
Through stories from my 2,000-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail, I deliver a high-energy, high-impact experience that leaves students motivated, connected, and inspired to be their best selves—at school and in life.
Courage to be yourself
Gratitude even when things get hard
Kindness that makes a real difference
