Hey Ladies! Four Corners Guides Has Expanded Packrafting Course Offerings for Women in 2026!

Hey Crew!

So I have a lot of fun news for the ladies now and in 2026. We’ve got a really cool new 🎧The Packrafting Life podcast, “Gender Differences in Learning, Teaching & Course Creation with Sarah Histand and Jule Harle.” These two badass Alaska adventurers and teachers and I had a round-table discussion about gender dynamics in outdoor adventuring, creating safe spaces for women to learn, and science-based reasons women learn differently from men. Fellows, if you teach, are friends with, married to, related to women (i.e. all of you), this is a great podcast for y’all to listen to as well! It is my absolute favorite interview of the year!

And due to numerous requests, we’re running a lot more women’s courses in 2026. Our April Level 2 is full. But not to worry, we’ve got these on the roster:

✅ April 25-26: Level 1 Foundations with Annie Busell. Three spots left!

✅ June 6-7: Annie and I are running a Level 3 Ladies Mastery Course. Four spots left!

✅ June 11-14: Women’s Level 2/2+ Bikerafting with Lizzy. Only two spots remain!

✅ June 18-21: An all-inclusive Level 2 Packraft Expedition Essentials Course with Annie & Krista Beyer. This course includes delish locally-grown food & lodging at Scullbinder Ranch.

And the most exciting news of all! This year I’ll be joining Jule as an assistant guide for her annual Women’s Week of Rivers in Alaska, August 3-7, 2026. FUN! Come paddle with us on a course Jule calls her “Friend Factory.” We’ll explore a bunch of different Class II to III rivers. And you’ll have the chance to learn new river safety, boat control and paddling skills and refine your existing skills, and maybe even correct some bad habits 😉. There are only six spots on the course, so get yours asap!
