Our full time staff

“I have worked in the outdoor industry for the past 14 years specialising in outdoor youth development with challenging behaviours. During this time I have been privileged to work with some of the most inspiring young people, visiting many parts of the world. As an aware employer, I am committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of all Outdoor Academy's clients and staff as its number one priority.”
Dave Hopper - Director

“Sharon Harrod continues to develop her personal ambitions as a leading youth consultant working across the services to develop multi agency links. Sharon is one of the most organised people you’ll ever meet. With 10 years of experiencing working primarily with young people in the outdoors she is a vital member of our team.”

“Scott Hunt has a talent for working with young people, and is innovative, professional and fun. His love for the outdoors creates a environment for all to remember. We are not too sure if Scott has ADHD, as he never seems to get tired!”

“Tim Hunt is our latest addition to the team. Whilst he is the youngest at just 20 years old, he comes with a wealth of experience in the outdoors – from paddling in Nepal to climbing across the UK. Tim offers a breadth of qualifications and has an in depth understanding of PRU groups.”
We are a small team who believe in what we do, the team has been hand picked and there is not a day that goes past that we regret what we do. We have proven that our dedicated team can achieve exceptional results in a safe and engaging environment, running programmes independently or working in partnership with your organisation. We hope you’ll never be disappointed and that you are able to enjoy Outdoor Academy's services as much as we enjoy working for our company.”
