In the summer of 2002, NORSA co-founder, Adam Domanski, was hired to work at the Maine High Adventure as a river guide. While there he did everything from learn how to play the banjo to going downstream through rapids with no boat. The camp was situated on a lake at the base of the Katahdin mountain range. Adam's several weeks in Maine helped him to get in touch with nature and offered him a fulfilling outdoor experience that will last a lifetime.
While working as a river guide, Adam led numerous expeditions down the river that helped other people looking to get outdoors have a good time with an experienced outdoorsman. He and the staff that he grew strong relationships with must have had an amazing time in Maine as the pictures he took will undoubtedly show.
