   ADK Leader Profiles: Deborah Scodese French
d french

It all began many years ago on the shores of Hemlock Lake.  I enjoyed the first date, the first canoe ride and the first initiation into Pack Paddle Ski.  Randy French had just started the company Pack Paddle Ski and now I was his "assistant".   I was still in college studying dance and psychology, so when I wasn't in rehearsal, performance, or classes, I was out paddling, hiking, or skiing in some beautiful place.

That was over 20 years ago and I am still out paddling, skiing, and hiking in beautiful places all over the world.  I have been leading trips for Pack Paddle Ski to Europe, Central America and North America for the past 20 years.  I have worked with groups of varying ages, genders, and abilities.   It is a great job and lifestyle combined.   I even have my own “assistants” now.  Our children Kiana and Cameron have been training since birth to be outdoor leaders. They love to go adventuring.

I still even manage a few pliés here and there, when I am not off on adventures to far away places.
