I love all things Snoopy and my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. My favorite outdoor activity is hiking and camping with my family and running with my dog, Freddie.

I usually have stories to tell about creature sightings and encounters (birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, amphibians – I love them all). I also love flowers, wild edibles, and most things green. My favorite outdoor activity is to be barefoot . . . also planting things, hiking, and kayaking.
MCKENNA
In my free time I enjoy relaxing at the beach or the pool and reading a good book. I enjoy being outside in the summer time and soaking up the sun. I love to be with family, friends and my two golden retrivers.

When I'm not working, I'm either on my bike, in the woods or at the lake! I love hooping, quad skating, playing guitar and making yummy Vegan meals & treats. My dogs, Mooney, Jesús and Wally, come with me everywhere whether we're hiking, canoeing or climbing mountains!

I am a mom and my favorite outdoor activity is skiing, and my favorite season is winter. But I also enjoy standup paddleboarding and hanging out at the beach with my kids. I have two dogs and four cats.
ANDY
I’ve got a surfer’s soul and a Jimmy Buffett song in my heart. My faith, family, and friends are very important to me and then there are chocolate donuts, air to breathe, a Mountain Dew in the morning, sunset beaches, walks in the woods, cardinals, and my fellow Bearcubs, not necessarily in that order.
BRANDON
When I'm not holed up inside reading a good book, I enjoy a medley of outdoor activities. I love to disc golf with my dog, Roran, as well as camp, hike and snowboard. I've had almost 10 years of experience in adventure recreation!
