Your 2007-2008 Trip Leaders

Jason Ballengee:
 

(SR)- San Antonio’s an amazing city, but its backyard is even cooler.  The majestic Hill Country and the Gulf Coast are right next door waiting to be explored.  Get out of the cramped, cubic classroom and come camping with O-Rec!

 

Oliver Brady:
 

(SO) He was found being raised by wolves on an O-Rec trip deep in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Housetraining was never entirely successful and he enjoys returning to the outdoors with his backpack and an orange shovel. Come spend a weekend digging six inch holes, howling at the moon, and prancing beneath the stars.

 

 

Danielle Dory:
 

(SO) Having fun in the great outdoors since diapers, she knows what born to be wild means. Needing breaks from her chemistry or biology classes, what better place than the beautiful, relaxing outdoors?  Instead of sitting around watching the next hit reality show on TV, have a real life adventure with O-Rec! Just beware; she’s always on the lookout with her camera.

Kyle Grest:
 

(JR)- Kyle is interested in physics, economics, music, and the great outdoors.  He loves backpacking and white water rafting and is saving up his REI store credit to buy a trip to Machu Picchu.  In his spare time he likes to pole vault and play the violin.  He would also like to lead and O-Rec trip to the moon!

Laura Martel:
 

(SR) Monday through Friday you can pretty much assume you’ll find me in the library. As Trinity students, we all work hard during the week, but that just gives us more of a reason to play even harder on the weekends. By play, I mean taking advantage of what San Antonio’s backyard has to offer. Come on a trip and join us in closing our textbooks and discovering the world outside the bubble!

 

 

 

Ryan O’Hara:

(SR) I know it’s hard to imagine prying your fingers off your textbooks, enjoying more trees than upper campus has to offer, and learning that breaking in to the pool at 3am is not considered an “outdoor adventure,” but get outside, get dirty, and enjoy an escape into nature with O-Rec.  Chance of bears, but it will be a guaranteed blast!

 

Keith Radke:

 (SR)Frustrated by my inability of grow a mustache, I find solace in the great outdoors.  Nothing soothes the soul like the laid-back thrill of a lifetime that any one of our trips can offer. 
So come join the O-Rec crew; forget all about that thing called “school,” and get a chance to experience and live the wise words of Dave, “Everybody’s happy, everybody’s free.”
