Ages 18+

Women-only group lessons give you the opportunity to learn new outdoor skills in a social environment. Bring a friend or come meet some like-minded women.

We strive to ensure each lesson is paired with a female instructor, to ensure the lesson content is as relatable as possible!  Ladies-only programs are a great option if you are nervous about trying the sport for the first time, prefer a female instructor, or generally enjoy engaging in physical activity with other ladies!

Each program will begin by revisiting the level goals from the previous level on more challenging terrain. An evaluation will be done at the start of each program, we reserve the right to move the participant to the level most appropriate for their skill level. All levels may be repeated multiple times to help build a solid foundation and allow you to develop your skills at your own pace in a safe learning environment.
