TRAIL Outfitters: Guides/Program Staff

TRAIL Outfitters is fueled by experienced staff and faculty who share a love for the great outdoors and a desire to develop students as leaders.  Our TRAIL Guides come from different campus departments and create unique and transformational experiences for students based on their interests and expertise.  These guides have successfully embarked on personal or college-sponsored trips all across the world, from local camping spots like Blackwell Forest Preserve, to national parks like the Grand Canyon, Arches and Joshua Tree, to international destinations like Mt. Kilimanjaro.
