EMPOWERED BACKPACKER - FROM UNSURE TO TRAIL - INTRO TO BACKPACKING COURSE
Trail Ready Woman
The Guided Backcountry Experience.
Build the skills. Gain the confidence. Step into the backcountry.
You asked. We answered!
After numerous requests to create a complete education and adventure package for women interested in learning to backpack, I am thrilled to announce that I have partnered up with Kerry Mannette, founder of Valkyrie Adventures and we created Trail Ready Woman.
This offer is a one-of-a-kind here in Nova Scotia! We will start with a virtual workshop to go over the basics, then a one-day in person workshop where we will pack and fit backpacks, practice setting up tents and using cook systems, followed by a short test hike with full gear.
The following weekend, we head out together for an overnight adventure to one of the eastern shore’s most beautiful beaches.
Kerry and I will be there for you every step of the way, and this will change the way you look at adventure forever.
