David Freeman Co-Director  |
In the Winter of 2001 Dave completed a 6 week, 225 mile, solo toboggan trek along the Minnesota/Ontario border. Dubbed the Border Country Adventure, Dave used a lap top computer and Globalstar Satellite phone to post journals, photos, and other educational resources to the internet, and connected with classrooms across the country during his first learning adventure. This first adventure provided the foundation from which The Wilderness Classroom Organization and many more Learning Adventures have grown. During the last four years he has played a vital role in the development and implementation of seven online learning adventures.
Dave Freeman graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder where he studied Biology and Anthropology. Dave is also a web master, programmer, and wilderness guide. He has worked as a dog sledding instructor, sea kayaking instructor, and canoeing outfitter/instructor for 10 seasons, introducing hundreds of participants to wilderness travel. |
