Community Courses

Custom designed retreats for established groups

GirlVentures custom designs community courses for schools, groups, teams, and other Bay Area organizations that serve girls age 10 and up. We specialize in using outdoor adventure experiences (camping, art in nature, outdoor adventure, rock climbing, sea kayaking) to create unique retreats that bring out the strengths of individuals and groups. Themes may include one or more of the following:

• Exploring courage
• Leadership development and teambuilding
• Healthy risk-taking
• Group problem-solving
• Conflict resolution and healthy relationship building
• Rock climbing and trust building
• Self-defense and boundary setting

The time frame and structure of our community courses will be customized to meet the needs of your program.  In the past we have designed single day and multi-day sessions, Saturday workshops, and semester long after-school programs.
