​I'm Adam.  Or Dreamer.  Or Ads.  I've loved the outdoors since I was 8 years old and lucky enough to get to experience going to summer camp.  Growing up in the concrete jungle of Los Angeles, getting to go away all summer every summer to camp in the mountains was magical.  It introduced me to the outdoors.  It instilled a sense of awe that I'd never felt before.  I've been striving to keep experiencing awe my entire life.  Awe is what leads me into the back-country time and time again.  Awe is what has always led me to weave outdoor education into every classroom I've taught in.
