Jenny Cusick

Jenny’s passion for the outdoors began at school, completing her Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Awards.

She worked in schools for 14 years developing a love for education and learning. Alongside teaching, she spent her spare time volunteering with local D of E groups helping other young people to achieve their awards. 

During her teaching career Jenny was a SENCO, deputy head and teacher governor but she decided to move into outdoor education 8 years ago. 

Combining her passion for the outdoors and love of learning, Jenny became an outdoor instructor taking groups on activities such as climbing, abseiling, caving, team building, archery and mountain biking.

Working at outdoor education centres in Somerset and Wales, and having spent some time working for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award charity, she has worked with a wide range of groups supporting and encouraging them out of their comfort zones and helping them to push their limits.

Jenny loves sharing her knowledge and drive with others and watching young people grow and develop in the outdoor environment. Jenny enjoys adventures in her camper van with her partner and rescue dog. She also loves crafts and can often be found knitting or crocheting on a mountain or beside a river.
