ABOUT US
HI WARRIOR
Welcome to The Okanagan Warriors Adventures, Canada’s largest obstacle course. Located in the heart of the beautiful Okanagan Valley. We offer a unique experience in nature. My name is Jeff, and I am the founder and owner of MLK Abilities and The Okanagan Warriors Adventures (OWA). Our mission is to share the knowledge and tools you need to become the best version of yourself.
OUR STORY
Over the past decade, I’ve had a wide range of experiences—some magical and others incredibly challenging. But today, I want to focus on the positives and share my journey and the value I hope to bring to you. My journey towards success began when I started playing American football at the age of 14, in France, where I’m from. From the moment I put on a football helmet, I knew it would be a life-changing experience. It wasn’t just about the game but everything that came with it: training, mindset, holistic health, diet, teamwork, effort, relationships, and sacrifices.
After 11 years of playing football at various levels—from a junior football team to the French National Team and Semi-pro in Canada—I decided to go back to France to enroll in the army. My ambitions led me to the Special Forces (French SAS), following in the footsteps of my father, who served for 20 years in the same regiment. Although this wasn’t my final career path, the rigorous 13 month training pushed me to understand more about who I am, my life purpose, and what I can pass on as my legacy. After completing my training, I returned for the second time to Canada in 2018 to settle down and start MLK Abilities in 2020 and then OWA in 2024.
OUR MISSION
