Our mission

Cruz Outdoors was founded in 2017 by Brandon Cruz, a Nationally Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), Mindfulness Teacher and Outdoor Leader with over 12 years professional experience guiding and facilitating outdoor adventure, team building and therapeutic recreation programs and activities for individuals, families, groups and organizations.

Since moving with his family from Binghamton, NY to Clemson in 2019, Cruz Outdoors has been an active participant in the local community, partnering with local organizations and providing a healthy variety of services, programs and events for all!

"Brandon provides an incredible experience for teams to bond and grow together.  He encourages working together and learning about each other, to foster trust and support.  I love his emphasis on mindfulness and compassion!  I would recommend his workshops to any organization."

Brandon was super fun to work with.  He brought the wilderness experience to life, even from inside the building.  It was a very thorough and fast moving experience which kept everyones attention.  10 out of 10 for Cruz Outdoors!"  Erin M.
