From rock climbing in Oregon, backpacking near Mount Rainier, or sea kayaking in the Puget Sound - we offer unique, fun and creative ways for girls and women to develop their creative, inquisitive, and physical courage and create dynamic relationships. From taking that bold step onto the rock to shouldering a heavy backpack and working hard to reach breathtaking views or plunging into cold water in order to experience the exhilaration of paddling your very own kayak, physical courage builds confidence to face your fears and keep moving forward. Yoga, painting, writing, theater games, art in nature projects, singing and dance help you discover your creativite courage and the joy it brings to everyday life. Through exploration of the natural environment we foster inquisitive courage and inspire participants to ask more questions about the world, themselves and each other. Choose the course and we'll provide the rest, including the technical gear and experienced leaders.
