Kimery Duda
Founder & Executive Director
Kimery’s base camp is Austin, Texas – but, she’ll be the first to tell you that her home is where her heart is – and, that is, in the field. Her passion for adventure was ignited in 1996 by an expedition set out to climb the highest peak in Mexico, Pico de Orizaba. She was taken under the wings of a Mexican family who exposed her to some of the most pristine cultural, historical, and natural sanctuaries throughout Mexico.
After ten years of teaching and professionally guiding throughout the world, Kimery went on to Found The Expedition School in 2006 – a company that creates and provides opportunities which embrace the ethos of the expedition – through adventure and education. Voted the Top Training Provider by the American Red Cross for the last 10 years in a row, over 500 lives have been saved by our students who have taken our safety courses in CPR/AED, Lifeguarding, and Wilderness First Aid.
“It is our goal is to enrich the lives of many individuals who would not otherwise have access to safe, professional, free or affordable outdoor programming.”
