Are you *flipping out* about the Sunday Scaries?

Try to take a deep breath, remain present, and remind yourself that everyone flips sometimes ;)

Last but certainly not least in our lineup of DHE staff this summer is Sarah Goldberg.

She digs keeping species lists in her field notebook, fancy camp cooking, gear repair, birding, resupply days that involve eating out, and sunbathing.

We are excited to introduce Michael Weiss.

Michael is a Single Pitch Instructor with the American Mountain Guides Association and a Wilderness First Responder. He also has degrees in geology and environmental studies.

We are lucky to have her!

Meet Maggie Humphrey. She is drawn to outdoor work for the meaningful experiences it creates with others and the connections it creates with the earth, and especially values the ways these experiences create a sense of belonging and inspire environmental stewardship.

Weekend goals!

We hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend that includes some sort of time in nature (bonus if there’s yoga or rafting involved).

[Deer Hill Expeditions @DeerHillExped]

Meet the staff: Michael Hill

When Michael’s not working with youth in the backcountry, you can find him making turns on skis, climbing all types of rocks, and experimenting with different musical instruments.

Come say hi to Michael when you are at Deer Hill this summer!

Next up in our amazing staff lineup is: Sophie Linett

After completing the summer internship at Deer Hill in 2019, she is back for a second season as field staff to provide others with the kind of experience that has shaped so much of who she is today.

Experiential education is a hands-on approach to learning that relies on experience and trial and error.

Meet: BECCA RAY

We are so excited to have Becca as part of our intern team at Deer Hill.

As an intern here at Deer Hill she hopes to gain new knowledge and skills but most importantly break out of her comfort zone to bring out her “authentic self.”

Happy Earth Day!
