Clare Campaña grew up in rural California and suburban Idaho, hiking, kayaking, and raising chickens with her family. As a Wyoming Catholic College student, Clare fell in love with the community she experienced in the outdoors and started working for COR in 2019, organizing student trips, providing logistics support, and instructing the WCC 21-day trip. Since graduating in 2021, Clare has instructed seasonally for Adventure Treks, Naturalists at Large, and COR Expeditions, building up students to thrive in the outdoors backpacking, rock climbing, canyoneering, and kayaking. 

Clare’s passion for the outdoors is equalled only by her love for the joy and chaos of young people. She has served in youth ministry Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Arizona, leading small group discussions, running summer camps, and facilitating outdoor ministry events. Clare has also worked as a legal assistant, taught elementary school, and cooked at her local ski mountain, Bogus Basin. When she’s not instructing a trip, Clare can be found cooking or baking, singing, riling up dogs, having a good conversation with friends, or skiing. Clare is excited for many more adventures, for sharing the joy of community in the outdoors, and for spending time immersed in silence and beauty to experience Christ’s presence.
