The leaders keep rolling on in!


Meet another one of our newly hired leaders! This is Alex!
Hey guys! I’m Alex Thomson and I’m currently a senior majoring in civil engineering at Syracuse University, but originally I’m from Buffalo, NY. I love biking. I used to be an avid mountain biker, but recently switched to road biking and touring and I’m loving it. Last summer, I went on a cross-country bike trip from Outer Banks, NC to San Diego, CA and built houses for groups like Habitat for Humanity. It was an incredible experience and it makes me even more excited for this summer! I love camping. I’m an Eagle Scout who has been on countless camping trips including backpacking in the New Mexico Rockies for a few weeks, backpacking a total of about 250 miles of the Appalachian Trial, canoed the Adirondacks, and many other adventures. More than anything else however, I love to travel, especially with groups (more people = more fun). Every time I’ve ever traveled, I found that a positive attitude and great people will make the trip so much better than I could have imagined. The opportunity you have this summer is an amazing one that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. In addition to all the fun you’ll be having, you will meet some incredible people and make some great friends. As a leader, I plan to facilitate an amazing trip and make sure you guys have a summer to remember. I’m excited to meet you all, see you soon!
