Learn more about some of our outstanding adventure guides!

Francesca Brighty

Coming from a moderately outdoorsy family in LA, I have always loved hiking, swimming, skiing, camping, biking, and snorkeling. I love to travel and am constantly exploring both land and sea here in California and beyond. As a guide, I am passionate about exchanging knowledge, experiences, and growing with everyone around me.

Tre Tucker

I’m from Compton, California and became a guide after working at Arc as an after school coordinator with high school students. I shifted from after school to adventure, where I now get to show students how fun it is to be outside. Also, I get to share what I personally like to do for fun, which includes hiking and camping, as well as filmmaking. I am always looking for new experiences when it comes to exploring the outdoors.

Jordan Kartchner

I am from the Pacific Northwest and Salt Lake City, Utah. As a boy scout for many years growing up, I spent all my free time outside camping, exploring, and adventuring. I have always loved danger-filled, fast-pace, extreme outdoor sports such as mountain biking and snowboarding. Currently, I am training to become a skydiving instructor.

Aaron Tell

Born and raised in LA, I have been a camp counselor for about 10 years. My passion for working with kids and exploring the outdoors has led me to become a super enthusiastic adventure guide. When I’m not working with other guides leading camping, hiking, biking, and kayaking trips, you can find me playing basketball and video games with my friends.
