Reed Weatherholtz

Teen Director, Steamboat Club

Hi my name is Reed Weatherholtz. I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a major in Outdoor Education and a minor in Social Work. While at UNH I helped to plan, prepare, and facilitate a pre-orientation outdoor adventure program for incoming freshmen. I worked closely with a small team in order to evaluate UNH’s Outdoor Education and Campus Recreation programs for accreditation by the Outdoor Behavioral Health Council. I also had the opportunity to lead a variety of diverse outdoor expeditions for all ages in the Durham community

I was lucky to find my passion for working with kids and my passion for the outdoors early in life. I’ve been working with kids in some capacity since I was 14 years old. After college, I was able to combine my passions by working at a Wilderness Therapy Program for at-risk youth. I worked with that program for almost three years before venturing out to complete my second long distance hike, The Pacific Crest Trail. Upon completion I decided to dip my toes into seasonal work, driving hayrides, selling Christmas trees, and finally moving to Steamboat and working for the mountain.
