Cody Meassick
Cody received a Bachelors in Adventure Education from Messiah University, while completing his service in the United States Army Reserves as a Non-Commissioned Officer. As an outdoor educator over the last decade, Cody has experienced first-hand the magic that happens when people come together to learn about and explore the outdoors. He has worked with a wide variety of demographics, from children to professionals and novices across multiple venues.
While holding positions at Yellow Breeches Educational Center, York College of Pennsylvania, and the Allenberry Resort, Cody brought intra-personal growth, inter-personal growth, and resiliency training across the organizations. His certifications as a Wilderness First Responder, Kayak Instructor, and Climbing Guide, along with his education and experience, allow him to create tailor-made experiences that are safe, entertaining, and life-changing. He has created and offered adventures across most activities and works closely with educational intuitions, camps, and corporations in their team-building programs.
In his spare time, Cody can often be found working in the garden, taking care of the chickens, shooting sporting clays, bird watching, playing board games, and paddling the Yellow Breeches, alongside his wife and son.
