Mark Hoge started Renaissance Adventures in 1995 after many years in the summer camp industry, as well as engaging in the boy scouts and live-action roleplaying games. What started as a small after-school enrichment program in Boulder, Colorado quickly grew into a well-loved community of kids and adults that create adventures together in locations across Colorado and beyond.

Aaron Pirnack joined Renaissance Adventures in 2000 as a Quest Leader. With his love of experiential education and knack for organizational skills, he has since partnered with Mark to steer the direction of Renaissance Adventures into the future.
