Outdoor camps and courses in BC, Yukon, Italy, and South America
A pioneer in outdoor experiential adventure
We lead adventures across four continents, offering activities like canoeing, canyoning, dogsledding, skiing, and so much more. All our expeditions emphasize experiential education, social-emotional development, and outdoor leadership skills to give our adventurers the tools they need to thrive. This cutting-edge programming has attracted a passionate, tight-knit team of educators, families, and youth with limitless potential.
Fireside Adventures was created by Jeff ‘Willy’ Willis, who since 1991 has been developing and leading camps, expeditions, and outdoor programs around the world. Fireside combines Jeff’s love of outdoor education with his years of experience in youth/family work and social justice to create unique outdoor adventures that foster wonder, positive personal identity, and leadership skills. Our team of educators, families, and youth work together to support our guiding mission, motto, and philosophy: Challenge. Strive. Learn.
