Jamie Jasinski graduated from Ohio University with a degree in Recreation and Sport Science, with a focus on Outdoor Education. He is currently working toward his Master’s in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Wilderness Therapy at Naropa University.
Jamie has been working with youth of all ages in outdoor settings. He was the founder of the Gilmour Academy Outdoor Adventure Camp and was the Director of OAC for five summers. He has 2.5 years of clinical experience as a case manger. From 2011-2013 he worked for a non-profit on Seattle’s Eastside that serves homeless youth. During this time he realized that his love for the outdoors and abilities to connect with youth should be combined.
If you are interested in food, sports, humor, music, or just being yourself Jamie is great person to sit by around the campfire. He is WFR/First Aid/WRT certified, and has been practicing mindful meditation since 2007. Jamie really enjoys cooking, playing his mandolin, playing hockey, whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, and snow boarding. He believes that everyone can reach their dreams as long as they stay true to themselves along the journey. Above all else Jamie has experienced life, the ups and the downs. If you need to talk about sobriety, courage to make changes, or being cool with being you, Jamie would love to chat. The sky is the limit! Where does your river want to take you?.
