The following COPE and WILDERNESS ADVENTURE PROGRAMS were created from 1976 to 2012. I retired from actively leading experiential activities injury and incident free with several thousand having participated in my programs. I no longer guide individuals or lead groups on adventure activities.

The website is entirely academic and informational. The pathways for personal development were created by renowned educators, are accessible, and come at no cost to the reader. I trust the content will benefit you and yours.
