You’ll have individual conversations with your coach. You’ll watch yourself in action as you live in a group, make decisions, and do hard things.

The Place
This river corridor travels through beautiful canyon landscapes. We will have opportunities to explore side canyons and hike to the rim. We’ll have time to sit still and reflect. In a tandem canoe you will learn to control your boat, find a rhythm with your paddling partner and deepen your communication skills. You will learn to camp and cook in the backcountry, make leadership decisions, and increase your confidence in river travel. The gentle rhythm of a canoe expedition will offer you deep self reflection and open you to new possibilities.

Nuts and Bolts
We meet at our in Salt Lake City, on the afternoon of October 11th and head to Green River State Park. We will begin to form together as a group, organize and pack our gear. The next morning we launch on the river and the adventure begins. You can expect to paddle between 4-6 hours each day. The river is flat water, with no rapids, but you will need to learn to maneuver your canoe to avoid hazards. We will teach you everything you need to learn to feel confident traveling downstream. Camp will be simple outdoor living with no facilities. We can sleep on the ground, under a tarp, in a tent, or ideally under the stars if the weather is kind. Each of us contributes to cooking, outdoor living tasks and a supportive group culture. On October 18th we’ll take out at Mineral Bottom and have a spectacular drive back to Green River State Park. Here we will shower up at our hotel, debrief, have a celebratory dinner, and you head home the next day.
You do not need to have prior experience canoeing or camping. We will provide all the support to let you thrive even if you have never slept outside or had a paddle in your hands. You need to be comfortable getting in and out of an unstable boat, with carrying heavy gear and with some physical exertion. You need to be open to experiencing your body in new and challenging ways. Often, people are surprised by how capable they are physically and humbled by mental challenges they didn’t expect. This is our most physically accessible expedition.
