Jocelyn McDonald
Owner. CEO. The face behind the screen.
Jocelyn is the owner of Northern Rockies Fitness who will be guiding you all through the vast wilderness of North. She has been successfully guiding for over 7+ years now and has hosted many retreats in her career. Jocelyn spent her youth days exploring the Northern Rockies with her family. Eventually the childhood pursuit developed into a passion for remote wilderness travel. She is an outdoor enthusiast who thrives off of inspiring others to enjoy the great outdoors. Her mission is to provide an unforgettable wilderness experience for all our clients. She feels honored to show people how to gear up and head out into the wild for a couple days or even weeks at a time.
Not only does she do this business but takes care of this little boy named Wylder James. She knew when she had him it would be a wyld ride and she can say her biggest adventure is raising this mighty fine gentleman. Not only does she get to do what she loves but she gets to do it with a buddy by her side. He’s two and shows his love for the outdoors already as they raise their farm and family here in Buick Creek, BC. Together they’re unstoppable.
“Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.”
