If you have your own backpacking gear that you d like to bring, bring it to the second pre-trip meeting so we can make sure it will be appropriate for the course. Community Project Your community project day, scheduled for approximately one week after you return, will involve an opportunity to use your leadership skills. Program Leadership Course graduates are invited to assist Girlz in the Wood staff during the follow-up activities in the Fall and Winter. You will be able to share your outdoor skills with other Girlz in the Wood graduates by helping out with the snowshoeing and climbing days. You are also invited to just participate in the follow-up program without taking a leadership role.
All food is included in the course cost, from lunch the first day through lunch the last day.
There is always plenty to eat, and food is always available throughout the day. Meals are basically vegetarian, although there are occasionally meat options. We discourage people from bringing their own food, since we carefully plan the menu to make sure that participants aren t carrying more weight than they have to. Transportation Transportation to and from the course areas will leave from and return to Boulder. Fitness A Girlz in the Wood course is not meant to be a test of physical endurance, but carrying a backpack can be strenuous work.
