Big Frog Expeditions

Why Big Frog Expeditions?
In 2003 we adopted this cute little green Ocoee River frog at the outpost. He insists that we named our outpost after him. Actually we named it for Big Frog Mountain, the biggest and highest feature of the Ocoee Region. We see the mountain top every day on our way to work, looming up in the morning fog or dusted with snow in the winter. Our little green frog is now calling himself 'Big Frog' and wants his name on everything! What a pushy little croaker. But he is kind of cute, and he grows on you... like warts!

Our Outpost - We  are constantly making improvements.
When you visit our outpost, you may notice new flowers, trees and shrubs...or new signs... or fresh paint somewhere.... clean buses and fresh equipment. We're always trying to create more green stuff around the place. But the best changes relate to our focus on strong onsite management. Once you’ve met our outpost manager, Jennifer Perdew, you will begin to understand how her commitment to our customers and her high standards for operation make everything she does above and beyond the call of duty.  Jenhas been with our company since 2004, beginning as our Operations Manager,  along with another 10 years of river management experience before that.

Jen stays constantly busy with the long list of outpost improvements we are continually planning. Poor Jen needs to clone herself! We make a few changes each summer as time allows between river runs, and we’ve always got more up our sleeves... new equipment, new services and new activities to give our customers more choices than ever before.

 Now, about that story of  Jen & Rick and a wedding....

After many years working and playing together ... which includes many many lo-o-ong hours sharing management duties at Big Frog's outpost as well as our sister companies  Ocoee Adventure Center,  Southeastern Expeditions and Blue Moon Cruises, these two decided to delight us all with the announcement of their marriage in May of this year (2011).

We were privileged to witness the marriage of two of the best folks a company could ever ask for - Congratulations, Jen and Rick!
