Personal:
Raised in rural West Virginia by parents who love the outdoors, Larry developed a keen sense of adventure and all things outdoors. Larry and his wonderful wife Corrie are the proud parents of 6 childern. They are both active with fundrasing and humanitarian efforts in Haiti. As an adoptive parent Larry is familiar with all of the related challanges, adventures, and joys of adoption. Larry enjoys spending time with his wife and six children. He loves to golf (but regularly complains he does not have enough time) hunt, fish, hike and spend time outdoors. Larry has even become a bit of a horseman while working at his last position and enjoys spending time with his horses. He loves kids, especially troubled ones- seeing them change is the greatest professional reward! Starting Daybreak Canyon is a dream come true for Larry, giving him the opportunity to pursue his passion of working with troubled youth in a meaningful way on his own terms.
Founder: Dustin Larna
Dustin Larna was an original founder in Daybreak Canyon. He and his family were absolutely vital in establishing Daybreak Canyon and making it what it is today. Dustin left to return to his old stomping grounds and and to work for RYC in Alaska; we think he just got tired of the small fish in Idaho. We here at Daybreak Canyon wish him the best and want everyone to know how much we apprecaite him, his family, and the lasting impact for all us left here at Daybreak Canyon!
