Celeste Olds is a PNW outdoor instructor dedicated to building wilderness skills, confidence, and meaningful connections in nature. Her work is shaped by thousands of miles trekked through alpine terrain locally and abroad, a lifetime of camping in the Pacific Northwest and decades of project management.

Years of problem-solving gear failures, unpredictable weather, and backcountry panic attacks have spawned the systems that make being outside safer, more comfortable, and more accessible. Celeste's approach recognizes that while safety and stewardship are an essential baseline, confidence and comfort outdoors look different for everyone. She creates supportive environments where people build skills at their own pace and leave with the tools and a grounded sense of capability to get outside.

Celeste is certified in Adult First Aid/CPR/AED: American Red Cross, Wilderness First Aid: NOLS Wilderness Medicine, and Epinephrine Auto-injector: NOLS Wilderness Medicine.
