"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning to sail my ship."
-Louisa May Alcott
Carve out some personal time to strengthen your self-understanding and bond with other women. These wilderness adventures are built on the same physical challenges, leadership and communication training, and skills of co-ed courses. With other women you'll explore personal growth, empowerment and share adventure in an encouraging, supportive environment.

You'll join two female instructors and other diverse women of all ages and of different fitness levels in an outdoor experience of fun, growth and self-discovery, and return to the world unafraid to face any storm.
