Jonathan Willcocks, Head Facilitator – “Village Chief”

‘Jono’ is the President and Founder of the Vancouver-based company, Pinnacle Pursuits, which since 1997 has become a globally recognized, award-winning, experiential training, team-building and adventure-learning company. Pinnacle Pursuits is the Corporate Partner for Teen Journey.

Jono’s role includes overseeing the vision of the project and helping to guide the overall flow and intentionality of camp as the experience unfolds during the week. He brings a depth of experience and wisdom to Teen Journey. From a young age, responsibility, leadership, and adversity have played a major theme in creating and defining his life. During and after university, his early experience as a wilderness boot camp leader for young offenders fuelled Jonathan’s interest in working with people – of all ages – to embrace challenge and opportunity with confidence and discover their own unique potential as they learn, grow and achieve success at work, in life, and with their peers with a deeper sense of purpose, passion, authenticity, empathy, and courage!

Jono’s educational background includes a University Education Degree in Kinesiology and Human Potential, he is a recognized recreational therapist, experienced outdoor adventure guide, and a Certified Professional Life and Leadership Coach and Facilitator. He is also an author, professional speaker, adventure-athlete, and award-winning entrepreneur and experiential educator. His commitment to life-long learning and his passion and enthusiasm for using group dynamics, nature and adventure as a metaphor for self-inquiry, self-discovery and embracing challenge and personal transformation, is inspiring and contagious!

Jonathan Bean,

Works in the non-profit sector, working with people from across the lower mainland to help them better their situation through affordable housing, connection to their community and community services, and enhancing their human dignity. When volunteering for Teen Journey, Jonathan draws on his years of experience in helping teens and young adults discover themselves, their purpose in life, and the deep truths that they can draw out of the life around them. Jonathan brings his experience with the Canadian Improv Games and improvisational theater as well as his experience as a theatrical producer to the table, as well as 4 years of experience volunteering with and leading in transformational youth camps and workshops with Youth on Purpose (an organization devoted to transformational work with teens), On Purpose (workshops for adults and families) and the Choose Again Society. Jonathan brings a balance of playfulness and discipline, and focuses on real-world applications of the inner, personal work that happens at camps and seminars.
