Tee Clarkson

Virginia Outside 
​As an outdoor writer, Tee has written hundreds of articles on the outdoors and conservation, including pieces that have appeared in The DRAKE and FlyFish Journal.
Tee has spent the better part of the last 15 years introducing kids to the outdoors, hosting more than 1000 students a year in the woods and on the water in Virginia, North Carolina, and throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic through his outdoor companies, Virginia Outside, NC Outside, and Paddle Fish.

Having spent 13 years in the classroom as a high school English teacher, Tee is now fortunate to focus his attention on his passion for fly fishing and all things outdoors, but
most importantly on making sure the next generation has the opportunity to spend time in wild places. Tee co-hosted the first student group to visit Guanaja in 2012 and has
been back with students each year since.

Nothing has been more important or impactful than the time I have spent in Guanaja, getting to know the island, and most importantly the people who live there,” Tee said.
