Camp HiYo: The Sound of Nothing, Done Perfectly

There’s a moment—usually about ten minutes after arrival—when Camp HiYo reveals itself. The engine shuts off. The car door closes. And instead of noise rushing in to fill the gap, nothing does. No generators. No highway hum. No neighbor’s Bluetooth speaker auditioning for relevance. Just wind moving through trees, distant birds negotiating the terms of the evening, and the subtle realization that your shoulders have been clenched longer than you thought. Welcome to Camp HiYo

The Cleveland RV Show Taught Us Something Important

We didn’t come to the Cleveland RV Show to “sell stuff.” We came to test a belief. A belief that families are tired of scrolling and ready for stories. A belief that people want experiences, not clutter. A belief that slowing down might actually be the new luxury. We also came with a 20-foot tipi, a glowing astronaut, a Bigfoot who somehow became a celebrity, and a brand-new concept most people had never seen before. And we came tired. Really tired. Trying to explain what we

’Twas the night before Christmas

’Twas the night before Christmas and all through my house not a creature was stirring — just my tired computer mouse. The stockings are hung on the mantle with care, with a quiet, soft hope that my children would draw near. The grandkids lay dreaming in their own little beds, while sugar-plum laughter still echoes in my head. Their parents are wrapping and whispering low, building the magic those children will know. My tree stands in silence, all glowing and bright, holding m

When Faith Looks Like Foolishness

There is a version of this story that sounds safer. This is not that version. Medina Adventure Company was not built from spare cash, leftover time, or a carefully padded backup plan. It was built from obedience, fear, prayer, and a decision to step forward when there was no visible ground beneath my feet. This company existed first as a conviction—one I tried to ignore. Medina Adventure Company is a concept. It doesn’t come with guarantees. It is still being birthed, and its

The Silent Season: Why Building an Adventure Brand Takes Time (And Why We’re Not Slowing Down)

Every adventure starts long before the trailhead. It begins in the quiet. In the planning. In the small decisions no one notices—ordering gear, building systems, shaping a brand, fixing the tiny details that make a big difference when the first guest arrives. Right now, Medina Adventure Company is in that quiet season. The RVs are winterized. The campgrounds are still. The glamping tents are folded. The firepits are cold. And for a company built on campfires, stargazing, and

The Fire’s Still Burning: How We're Building the Next Season of Adventure

T he embers are glowing low tonight, and if you listen close, you can almost hear the hum of a generator cooling off, the rustle of tents settling in, and the quiet sigh of another season well lived. That’s the kind of silence we’ve been working toward all year — the peaceful kind that comes after the hard work is done. You see, while the summer crowd was packing up their kayaks and folding up camp chairs, we didn’t exactly head indoors. We went to work — the kind of work tha

Placing It All on the Line: The Journey Behind Medina Adventure Company

“The measure of a life isn’t what you earn, but what you create that lasts.” At 52, I found myself standing at the edge of everything I’d built — and realizing the only way forward was to leap toward something that actually mattered. Then, life handed me a gift I didn’t expect — time. Time with the people who matter most. Time to breathe, to reflect, to repent, to reconcile — and to recognize that “someday” had quietly become a dangerous illusion, as life filled with more and

About the Author:

Jeffrey Sustersic,

I’ve made more than my share of mistakes. I’ve had more help in my life than I ever understood in the moment. Looking back, I can see how many people showed up—some stayed, some drifted out of my life—and I didn’t always see clearly how much they were doing for me. I’ve failed more than I’ve succeeded, lost more than I’ve won, and yet I’ve been carried by grace far more than by my own strength.

My name is Jeffrey Sustersic, founder of Medina Adventure Company in Medina County, Ohio. My life, and this business, are shaped by faith, family, the lessons of personal failures, and a quiet calling to help people slow down and find meaning in God’s creation. After decades in the automotive world, I hit a point where outward success didn’t line up with inner peace.

In a moment when life had me on my knees, I prayed for God to just take it all away. His answer surprised me as it wasn't anything I was expecting nor wanted to hear. His word cut through my thoughts and seared itself into my heart; "acknowledge me in all your ways and I will make your paths straight"

It was then that God started pruning me, taking away the things I could never seem to let go of myself. Through prayer and reflection, I felt God nudging me toward a new path—one rooted in purpose, rest, and reconnection. That’s how Medina Adventure Company began. Not from ambition, but from a desire to restore what matters most.

I believe God owns it all: every sunrise, every trail, every RV or tent that becomes the backdrop of a family memory. My role is simply to steward what He’s given me and to serve others as best I can.

The heartbeat of this company still comes from my late wife, Erin. Her love, kindness, and steady spirit shaped the best parts of my life. Even now, her influence guides the mission behind everything we do. Her joy lives on in every campsite set, every family we help reconnect, every moment of peace we try to create.

But the story doesn’t end there. God has used many others along the way—people who came into my life for a season, people I overlooked or didn’t fully appreciate at the time, people who lifted me up when I wasn’t even aware I needed lifting. Their fingerprints are on this journey too.

And then there are those He unmistakably places in our path—people like Julie, whose steadfast love, support, and enormous help have carried this vision, and me, farther than I ever could alone. Her commitment has been a blessing I didn’t expect but one I thank God for constantly.

In the end, Medina Adventure Company is built not just on gear or rentals or retail store, but on grace… on the quiet strength of those who show up… and on the gift of the people God places along our journey.

May we all learn to see them more clearly. That is the mission of Medina Adventure Company.
