why take women bikerafting or packrafting courses?

Women learn differently from men. “Whether you call it ‘girl power’ or ‘feminine energy,'” says Jule Harle of Alaska Packrafting School, ladies have a different learning style. And women’s packrafting courses can offer a distinct environment where they can talk through concepts and issues more thoroughly than might happen in a mixed class or class with just men.

There’s a part of the brain that’s twice as big in a female that processes new experiences or manages fear through talking,” Jule says.

Who knew? Well, we women did, of course 😉

So, here you go–a bunch of women’s bikerafting and packrafting courses.
