Todd grew up on a lake in the beautiful mountains of Morgantown, WV and subsequently pursued a bachelors and masters degree at WVU. He started at Trails in 2011 after working for over a decade with adolescents and their families in their homes and in a residential setting. He has a relational approach that helps him to quickly gain rapport with students who have a hard time trusting others. Todd’s passions outside of Trails include spending time with his family, rock-climbing and surfing. His love for both the mountains and the ocean keep him very busy!

Yoga/Mindfulness – While at our Sky Valley Campus our students participate in a Health and Wellness curriculum across the week. They are introduced to the therapeutics skills and benefits of yoga, mindfulness and creative expressions while also learning about hygiene and how taking care of our physical needs supports our emotional and psychological needs.

– Environmental Studies – Our accredited environmental studies curriculum is carried out in our science center as students engage with reptiles, chickens, and possums. They also participate in experiential activities around sustainability and technological advancements in support of reducing environmental impact.

While students are out on expedition they learn confidence, self efficacy and problem solving skills through learning how to set up and take down camp, be a member of a team, take care of themselves, and learn basic wilderness skills. Our guides are with them every step of the way, helping scale the challenge accordingly for where the student is in their journey.

– School House– Our accredited academic curriculum takes place on trail and in our school house while at Winding Gap. For many of our kids getting “back in the box” of a school room with a desk, chairs, a teacher and a whiteboard, can be an important part of applying the skills of wilderness therapy in a real world setting.

– Equine– Our equine program teaches our students about emotional regulation and relationship building in a very hands on way.

– Cabins– While at Winding Gap our students stay in cabins with bunks and bathrooms. It provides an environment that more closely resembles life after Trails.
