Meet Uriel Zavala! After three years of volunteering, Uriel’s favorite trail essentials are his inflatable sleeping pad and a stash of campfire ghost stories. He chooses to lead these trips because he’s passionate about teaching students how to treat nature with respect.

His best advice for anyone heading out? Leave the emails behind, embrace the "no-shower" lifestyle, and stay open to the wonder of new challenges. We are so grateful for his dedication to helping our students unplug and explore!
