Although our staff is designated to work in specific areas, we are better known for our ability to combine our efforts to complete complex tasks quickly and efficiently as a team. Whether we are adventuring, guiding, instructing, creating, counseling, repairing, camping, or playing, WOA is at heart, a “team.”
