Guide
Born in the one road town of Rockton, Ontario Jake was brought up in the canoe camping world and always loved going on out-trip as they called it at Camp Wanakita. These years are what cemented his outdoor lifestyle, from hiking to canoeing to whitewater kayaking. Jake spends most of his free time in the open air and preferably on the water. This is what led him to move to Vancouver, B.C. (alongside being able to paddle year round), but the lack of canoe tripping is what motivates him to make the pilgrimage back to Ontario every summer. Outside of the guiding season, Jake is an Educational assistant, specializing in providing support to children with Neurodiversity. Jake’s passion for the outdoors combined with his natural curiosity is what led him to pursuing guiding professionally. While on expedition with Jake you will likely find him huddled around the fire cooking up a storm, leisurely sipping his morning coffee all the while wearing a smile you can see for a mile.
