This course was designed
by our female staff members in order to offer young women a unique wilderness
experience. Each trip contains the same activities as those found in our
Classic Adventures program, while allowing participants to address personal and
group challenges from a female perspective. All participants are encouraged to
work together to create a supportive, non-competitive environment where
everyone is able to succeed in all aspects of the adventure regardless of
ability level. Throughout the course, you will take on increasing leadership
roles and responsibilities. You will leave this course not only with a greater
sense of the outdoors but also with newfound strength and pride in yourself.
You will have the unique
opportunity to work primarily with female activity instructors and group
leaders who will facilitate discussions about female role models in
nontraditional sports like rock climbing and mountaineering, and the obstacles
those women have overcome. Throughout this course, group leaders will work with
participants to confront their own obstacles and to help them discover how
conquering them can be rewarding, exciting, and exhilarating. It is our hope
that each young woman will leave Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing with
greater confidence, lasting friendships, and a strong desire to continue her
involvement in outdoor adventure activities.
Activities:
kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, mountain biking, caving, camping, 900' zip
line, climbing wall, challenge courses, & more.
"I am excited
about the overwhelmingly positive response to this trip. The initial intent was
to encourage young women to step forward and try new things - even be first, be
the leader - by creating a safe environment for them. We wanted the girls to
leave with increased self-esteem, and the knowledge that they can be successful
in anything they try. I am certain that our success was evident from the huge
smiles on the girl's faces as they finished this course."
