History: Whitecap Kayak was started by the youth group leaders of the Range Community
Bible Church to provide a stimulating environment for mentoring young men & women
as they train as guides for summer employment.
Neal Schroeter - is the director of Whitecap Kayak. He otherwise works as an emergency room physician in Ironwood & serves as the pastor of the Range Community Bible Church. He has paddled mostly whitewater for over 20 years.
Lara Schroeter - is a student at the U of MN - Duluth, majoring in international studies. Kayaking since she was old enough to hold a paddle, Lara loves to introduce anyone interested to the sport.
Tyler Harrington - is a pre-med student at the UW Madison. When asked about favorite guiding duties: “Lay on the beach and light fires! Can life get any better than that?”
Nathan Borth - never one to sit still, Nathan loves anything that involves adrenaline; whether that is flying off a ski jump or a waterfall, he’ll be having fun.
Katie Challis - is a student at Gogebic Community College. She spends any free time that she has in the woods, practicing karate, or can be found at the Lake. This summer she is looking forward to learning to whitewater kayak.
Rachel Borth - is a student at Gogebic Community College and is an ardent shoe-hater. Never indoors, she is “the queen of endurance” and is game for any activity- especially if it’s around water.
LeaAnn Schroeter - works as a Pediatrician in Hurley-Ironwood. She paddled whitewater when long boats were cool. Now, she prefers her long kayak on Lake Superior.

Elsa Schroeter - has kayaked from coast to coast, & from Mexico to China. She is spending this year in Nepal.
