With modern facilities the Lennox Outdoor Leadership Center and its 640 acres boasts many opportunities for self-discovery and adventure retreats.
As Director of Outdoor Education for Hyde School, I couldn’t be in a community or environment that fit my skills and life passion any better. Since my early 20’s I have dedicated my life to guiding others towards a deeper understanding of themselves and each other, through interaction and immersion in nature. At Hyde I get to blend my 25+ years of experience teaching, facilitating, guiding, adventuring, and mentoring. I have the honor and privilege to facilitate programming on our state of the art Ropes Course as well as care-take and implement learning opportunities at the Lennox Outdoor Leadership Center in Eustis, Maine. These opportunities include Wellness Retreats, Adventuring, Camping, Family Programming and a variety of other school trips. I have a Masters in Outdoor Leadership and Environmental Education and as a Registered Maine Guide, Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, Yoga instructor, Ropes Course Instructor and enthusiast of youth in the outdoors; I feel completely at home in this position. I love the challenge and I love how I grow everyday alongside our Hyde students and staff.
