My name is Cody Robinson-Bullock, and I am the founder of SCHOVENTURES LLC, an experiential outdoor adventure company dedicated to creating meaningful experiences that help people, organizations, and communities connect, grow, and thrive. With a background in outdoor leadership and global community development, I have spent more than a decade designing and facilitating experiential education programs, developing youth leadership initiatives, guiding paddling and day trips, and leading corporate retreats. My work is grounded in the belief that adventure is defined by those who choose to embrace it. Every experience is intentionally designed to leave participants feeling more connected, confident, and curious than when they arrived. My professional journey has taken me across New York and throughout the United States, with educational, professional, and facilitation experiences in Michigan, Tennessee, Illinois, Ohio, Kenya, Tanzania, and Nepal. These opportunities have strengthened my belief that the outdoors is more than a destination. It is a classroom where people build confidence, strengthen relationships, develop leadership skills, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for themselves, nature, and their communities.

Jason Hall is the owner of The Fly Fishing Workshop, a licensed New York State hunting and fishing guide, and a Marine Corps veteran with a lifelong passion for fishing. Jason grew up along the Hoosic and Walloomsac Rivers, spending nearly every free day chasing trout. After his family moved to the Adirondacks, he developed a deep appreciation for brook trout fishing in the region’s mountain ponds and streams. After high school, Jason served as an Infantry Marine and traveled the world with the United States Marine Corps. When he returned home, his then-girlfriend, now his wife, gave him his first fly rod. That gift sparked a lasting passion for fly fishing, and before long, he began tying his own flies and rarely traveled without a rod nearby. Over the years, Jason has fished for both freshwater and saltwater species throughout the Eastern Seaboard. His experience and enthusiasm eventually led him to open The Fly Fishing Workshop in Glens Falls, New York, with a mission to make fly fishing approachable, accessible, and affordable for anglers of all experience levels. With decades of experience on Adirondack waters, Jason brings extensive local knowledge, skill, and passion to every trip. Whether guiding a seasoned angler or someone picking up a fly rod for the first time, he tailors each experience to create a successful, educational, and memorable day on the water.
