Growing up, Alycia never knew what career to focus her attention on but she always knew she wanted to be her own boss. It took many years of travelling around the world, a diploma in Recreation and Leisure services, working various contracts and the support of friends and family to have her realize she wanted to return to her hometown and start a recreation company.

With Alycia’s “say yes and GO” attitude she has had many opportunities to learn new skills and gain knowledge in many different areas. She has worked for four different summer camps (all in different locations throughout the world), nannied in the Rockies and most recently instructed rock climbing programs at schools in the GTA.

Alycia is excited about the idea of running her own company because it allows her to use the assortment of skills and knowledge she has acquired living and working in so many different settings. She has a passion for the outdoors, sports, being creative, working with people, taking time for fun, recreation and leisure. Alycia looks forward to sharing her passion and building a community of GO-ers!

Janna is an outdoor loving northerner from Whitehorse, Yukon, which is where she met Alycia one summer directing and leading Youth Adventure Camps together. The idea of eventually running their own business was sparked that summer, but it took a few years to make it happen.

In the meantime Janna went to university and received two degrees: a Bachelor of Kinesiology - Pedagogy major and a Bachelor of Education - Physical Education major. Her resume includes teaching Outdoor education and PE in Alberta and Yukon, one on one tutoring with students and coaching volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton, and track and field.

When asked about why she wanted to be a partner in GO Adventure Co she said:

“I am a teacher and cannot imagine myself in any other profession. However, I am a teacher faced with the challenge of only REALLY loving the subjects that don't get priorities in school. My favourite place to teach is actually outside of school; outside of the school building in the outdoors and outside of scheduled school time when I am coaching or going on school trips.

My two favorite parts of teaching are building relationships and experiencing that ‘aha!’ moment with the person learning something new. I am so excited to be apart of GO because it will allow me to teach subjects I love, in my favourite type of setting - outside of school.”

The members of the GO Crew Team are the best! Everyone is trained to ensure the safety of our Goers is the number one priority while ensuring every camper leaves each day feeling respected and their day was filled with fun!

Our staff are all first-aid certified, we host a multi-day staff training and many of our staff are campers who have completed our Youth Leadership program and have now become staff.

Speaking of safety: Campers 8 and under are required to wear a lifejacket while in the pond and campers 9 and older have to complete a timed swim test.. We also have 5 certified lifeguards on our staff team.
We run each program on a 7:1 ratio maximum.
