Paige Baker is excited to be part of an organization that helps youth and young adults discover the benefits of respecting and experiencing nature. Paige grew up in Wyoming where her family instilled a love for outdoor recreation at an early age. Much time was spent skiing, hiking, fishing, camping and learning about the natural world around her. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wyoming, Paige moved to Steamboat Springs where she worked for the ski area and met her future husband, Brad. A move to the Front Range allowed Paige the opportunity to continue her education by receiving a Master’s degree in apparel design from Colorado State University. She worked in the outdoor apparel industry and was able “test” product while still considering it work. Recently, she and her family were stricken with the Yampa Valley Curse and have moved back to embrace the beauty of Steamboat Springs. Paige and her husband are excited for the opportunity to share with their daughter all the benefits that come from contributing time and energy to enjoying and preserving our natural environment.
