Meet the Odyssey crew
The Odyssey Experience is only as good as the staff who deliver it, so we consistently use the very best that can be found.
Our course team normally work as freelancers in outdoor development training and are drawn from a pool of staff trained in delivering Odyssey courses to ensure fresh enthusiasm and diversity in running the courses. Between them, they have an immense breadth of experience, a passionate belief in the power of the outdoors and a huge sense of fun. They are also incredibly well tuned with the cancer element to the course and will ensure that each participant feels comfortable at all times.
