Quinn

Originally from Wisconsin, Quinn grew up going to summer camp at YMCA Camp Nan A Bo Sho (NABS) in his home state, from age 5 to 16. Later, he became a counselor at Camp NABS, leading backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, wilderness navigation, and environmental education to kids and teens. After his summer with Adventure Treks, Quinn will be embarking on a three-month outdoor educator course with NOLS.
