Leading the Adventure
Leading a Voyageurs trip is both an enjoyable and challenging experience. Staff find themselves in the role of guide, chef, house keeper, doctor, educator, and entertainer, to name a few. Hulbert Voyageurs staff are caring and dedicated individuals who have extensive outdoor skills, as well as group leadership and teaching experience. Safety is of utmost importance during every Hulbert program, and in addition to their hands-on outdoor experience, education, and extensive preparation, our staff are certified as Wilderness First Responders or Emergency Medical Technicians, and instructors in their particular field.
