WHO YOU ARE
You are a stoked digital content creator with a passion for adventures and a well-deserved apres! ☀️ Whether you’re out mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, trail running, or enjoying a lake day in the sun, you are keen to share your adventures through reels and photos.

You will represent The Strait and Narrow as a respectful, compassionate, thoughtful, friendly, kind, and sustainably-minded adventurer.

- In addition to your web-submitted application, we will be evaluating your S&N story slides and reel application by the following metrics: creativity, brand alignment, quality, and storytelling.
