Becky

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.
Alex

ALEX

I love the 4th of July and am a huge U of M college football fan... and I love dogs. My favorite outdoor activity is sitting outside in the sun with a book, swimming with the dogs in the summer, and traveling to tropical places in the winter.
Devan

DEVAN

I’m an animal lover and an avid traveller. My favorite excursions were Hawaii and Alaska because of the wildlife and the landscapes. I love to hike and discover nature in each place I visit. Come summer, you’ll always find me by the water!
Ben

BEN

I love red pandas, Star Wars, and other things. I cannot whistle or wink with my right eye. I love to snowshoe, ride my bike on the area trails, hiking and finding a spot to relax and enjoy the views. I feel there’s not much weather in the area that stops me from enjoying a walk. I also love gardening in the summer.
Mary Jean

MARY JEAN

I used to work with birds of prey. I have lived in Colorado, West Virginia, New Jersey, Virginia, Louisiana and New Mexico. I have lived in Petoskey almost longer than everywhere else combined. My favorite outdoor activity is biking and cross-country skiing.
Rachel

RACHEL

I usually have stories to tell about creature sightings and encounters (birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, amphibians – I love them all)! I love all plants and growing things, especially native edibles. I grew up in Petoskey. My favorite outdoor activity is to be barefoot (or if I HAVE to wear shoes, wearing Chaco flip flops), gardening (lavender, basil, and sage – oh my!), hiking (or just being) in the woods, and kayaking (or just floating) on the lakes
Jessica

JESSICA

I’ve moved – a lot. I’ve hosted two German exchange students. I majored in Art and Illustration and I love graphic novels (not the superhero ones). My favorite outdoor activities are hiking and lake swimming and SUPing.
Melanie

MELANIE

I have been to over 50 music concerts. I love cows. My creative outlet is making scrapbooks for my children. I enjoy bike-riding, swimming, boating and ice skating.
Natalie

NATALIE

I am an excellent parallel parker. I love folk & bluegrass music. Spiders’ eyes shine in the dark if you point a flashlight at them. Spiders are cool. I have too many favorite outdoor activities to choose just one! It’s a tie between hiking, watching dogs play, and hula-hooping!
McKenna

MCKENNA

I like to shop and spend time by the pool with my mom. My favorite outdoor activities are tennis and skiing.
Jake

JAKE

I have traveled the continent 3 times over, for months at a time, camping using only things from Bearcub and everything was always aces. My favorite outdoor activities are surfing, hiking, mountaineering, and by all means mellow camping trips.
Mark

MARK

I’m a lover of music and gigged regularly with the same band in mid/southern Michigan for over 15 years, playing acoustic/electric guitar and harmonica. Camping and fly fishing the Manistee River for Hexagenia limbata, a.k.a Giant Mayflies are my favorite outdoor activities.

Some fun facts about me are that I love dogs, music, and long road trips. My favorite outdoor activities are mountain biking, hiking, and skiing. ENO hammocks are my favorite Bearcub products! They are easy to set up and pack up small so you can take them on the go! They also come in great colors and designs.

I am a high school student that was born in Montana!  I moved to Michigan when I was one then moved back to Montana in 2nd grade, then came back to Michigan in 4th.  I love too many outdoor activities to pick a favorite, but love any water activity in our many lakes, mountain biking and running.  ENO hammocks are my favorite Bearcub product.
