Jill's love of the outdoors began in childhood by playing outside with neighborhood friends until dark. Years of unstructured play turned into a passion for outdoor recreation during her college years, through hiking out West and a transformative Outward Bound course at Hurricane Island in Maine. Since launching Outdoor Movement Project in 2014, she has created programs that engage kids in outdoor activities such as bike clubs, running clubs, summer camps, trail challenges, and an outdoor after-school program called OMP Camp. Although she no longer runs OMP programs, Jill continues to encourage all ages and abilities to spend more time outside through her hiking newsletter and trail guides. She is especially dedicated to connecting youth with the outdoors, a mission she actively supports through her day job with Teens to Trails. Jill lives in Portland with her husband Tim, their teenage sons, Finn and Henry, and their dog Romy.
