In many ways, the last year was not good, but there's always silver linings, right? For many of us, the last year has encouraged us to take a step back from our routines, evaluate our lives from a macro perspective, and realign our priorities accordingly.
Over the last 20 years, our little adventure companies have grown from a two-man shop operating out of rented train car, to companies that have a beautiful dedicated facility in town and employ a talented and inspiring staff seasonally and year-round. It's an understatement to say that small-town Seward, Alaska has been incredibly kind to us, and the support we have found here is a large part of the reason that we are able to make a living exploring the outdoors and exposing others to the activities that we love.
We're finally in a position to start to return this kindness, so starting this year we are sponsoring several recurring charitable initiatives designed to give back directly to the community that has made the last two decades possible for our companies.
For the first of these initiatives, Exit Glacier Guides and Liquid Adventures are excited to offer a yearly scholarship to graduating local seniors who are continuing on to post-secondary education in pursuit of fields relating to outdoor industries, outdoor education, environmental studies and/or professional outdoor guiding. The scholarship is offered under the guidance and direction of the local school councillors, and will help inspire the future generation of outdoor enthusiasts who desire to make a career out of a passion for the outdoors.
