I am very excited to be partnering with Woods and Waters Adventures to lead a fantastic skills weekend September 18-21, 2025. Beautiful Lake Huron and the Eastern UP will be our playground to gain confidence, develop personal and group skills, and work on risk management strategies to stay safe and best enjoy time on the water. This weekend is about the willingness to play, learn, and try new things while enjoying camaraderie among a small group of outdoor friends. Over the 4 days, participants will learn and improve their outdoor skills while paddling premium P&H sea kayaks and enjoy chef-curated meals by a Les Cheneaux Culinary School graduate. Details, pricing, and registration is available at woodsandwaters.eco.
