Bears for Dayyyysss!!!
This workshop with Colby was like watching National Geographic unfold in real-time — only better, because we had front row seats and amazing guides making sure we didn’t become part of the food chain.
But the real secret sauce? The people. Our group of photographers was like a bear-loving, adventure-chasing comedy troupe. Every day was full of laughter, inside jokes, and enough shared snacks to survive a mild apocalypse. And the family and crew who ran the camp? Absolute legends. They made us feel welcome, safe, and totally spoiled in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness — which is not an easy feat when you’re surrounded by creatures that could you make you their next energy bar.
This workshop gave me unforgettable moments and great memories. I came for the wildlife and the epic scenery… but I left with a full heart, sore abs from hiking and laughing, and a new adventure family. There’s also a boot hole named after me in the mud somewhere on mile two, but that’s a story for another day. Bring some Dramamine, Aspercreme, a walking stick , a raincoat and room for great food as Chef Callum fed us crazy great meals like we were going into our own hibernation.
Cheers
