Shaping the programs for the upcoming season

Meet Our
Entire Team

Full-time Staff

Throughout the year, ARCC full-time staff members are shaping the programs for the upcoming season. This group of former trip leaders, educators, world travelers, triathletes, and moms and dads, spend their days orchestrating and arranging the hundreds and hundreds of details necessary to operate ARCC programs in some of the most remote locations on earth. Custom, Gap and Summer Directors spend thousands of hours planning the programs in intimate detail so that our Program Leaders and Gap Instructors can focus their attention on their students, instead of on trip logistics. Directors are your “go to” resources when you have questions about specific trips or programs. They are fully involved with staff hiring, staff training, and trip support when programs are in the field. They are all united by their love of travel and adventure, and the desire to create positive experiences for young people.
