John Hunt's Profile
On behalf of the Jason William Hunt Foundation, John Hunt has invested the last ten years in providing scholarships and chances for youngsters at-risk, sending them to restorative wilderness self-development programs. Collaborating with families and outdoor therapeutic programs throughout the nation, John and his family members undertook to continue the job Jason did before his fatal accident. A native of Connecticut, John and his family members currently live in southwest Ohio.
The book "Walking with Jason" demonstrates "Just What the Wilderness Does Better"
John explained how wilderness therapy works as well as it does because the wilderness is unknown to most kids, because Mother Nature is uncompromising, and because it gives them time to reflect on their lives. Hiking and camping in the wilderness also develops a team spirit to survive harsh environmental conditions. In the process, children who have been abandoned by parents or caregivers, scarred by abuse, treated with apathy, or struggled with addiction issues, either as witnesses or participants, learn to believe in them and form a vision of a life beyond their home environment.
The guest also talked about the formative forces and challenges Jason faced in becoming a very dedicated and skilled wilderness educator. He talked about the influence of Danielle, Jason's elder sister, a wilderness educator in helping Jason with finding a way to combine his love of the outdoors with making a living and about how Jason developed a passion for rock-climbing in his high school and college years. John also described the circumstances surrounding Jason's death during a climbing accident while on the last day of his rock-climbing vacation on October 13, 2001 in Squamish, British Columbia.
His son was a person who invested long days in difficult weather and harsh natural conditions. He invested his time showing young people how to overcome difficulties and grow their inner strengths and skills. He mastered the challenging capabilities of rock climbing. He also mastered the soft counseling skills of empathizing with troubled teens. Today, the foundation named after Jason continues his work.
