                                        My name is Paul Page and I am
                                        the RALLY leader. My experience
                                        working with children and
                                        youth spans over 20 years and
                                        includes outdoor skills, classroom
                                        instruction and adventure trips.
                                        I have a Diploma in Outdoor
                                        Recreation Management, and
                                        a Masters in Environmental
                                        Education and Communication.
                                        While very passionate about
        playing outside, I also feel a strong commitment to helping
        youth learn to respect themselves, others and the world around
        them. I feel it is important that youth learn to take responsibility
        for themselves and their actions so that they can contribute
        positively to the groups they are a part of. I am looking forward
        to getting to work with the young people and their families in
        this community.
