Conny Simes

Sea Kayak Program Manager

As the Sea Kayak Program Manager at our Little Sand Bay base camp in Bayfield, Wisconsin, Conny facilitates training for all sea kayak outdoor leaders. Her support for those staff begins with training and continues though the summer season. She is a Bayfield local and is the onsite resource to assist staff in making sound decisions before and during trips. Her role also entails trip directing for our Apostle Island trips in which she manages the logistics to ensure a safe and fun adventure for everyone.

Prior to working for Wilderness Inquiry, Conny was a sea kayak guide in the Apostle Islands, Wisconsin, and Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. She is an ACA (American Canoe Association) Level 4 Coastal Sea Kayak Instructor. Her goal is to share this passion with others, empowering them to discover the beauty, challenge, and personal growth that comes from paddling and wilderness experiences.
