Seattle Adventure Sports does this through:

  • Offering high quality programs for adults, youth, teams, and schools

  • Encouraging all to take heightened responsibility for themselves, others, and the environment through Leave No Trace principles

  • Ensuring that managing safety is at the core of everyone’s responsibility when engaging in any outdoor experience

Don Cheyette

Position: Director

Don has been adventuring in small boats since he was a small boy- one of his first responsibilities was rowing the family dog to shore while exploring the Inside Passage. Coaching and educating has grown to be a fundamental part of his life, taking him from Alaska, to Patagonia, to the UK, and beyond.

His goal for Seattle Adventure Sports is twofold:

1. To foster a community of engaged outdoor enthusiasts, from pint-sized kindergartners to adults;

2. To facilitate learning and a sense of wonder and exploration in the community that extends into other facets of people’s lives.
