Overview

Project Courage is for girls and gender non-conforming youth entering 7th and 8th grade. Students will carry everything they need in kayaks and paddle on the magical Tomales Bay. This course is a 10-day, 9-night expedition. All gear, food, and transportation is provided and no prior experience is necessary.

Project Courage serves as a great next step after the Redwood Adventure course or is a great first step for a student wanting a longer course experience.  The name “Project Courage” comes from the root meaning of the word “courage” - from the heart - and the “project” refers to an opportunity for youth to speak their truth in an environment that supports their learning and growth.

GirlVentures is an amazing experience for young girls. Project Courage offered my step-daughter the opportunity to be independent, forge new friendships, connect with nature, discover herself and break from technology. She left for her adventure a bit nervous and very excited, and she came home confident, motivated and strong. I see the effect it has had on her in little ways ever day. Two feet out the door of leaving the Welcome Home gathering she asked if she could go again next year. Yes, absolutely!! I cannot recommend this program and organization enough to parents with daughters. It is an experience they will never forget and lessons and skills they will apply for a lifetime. Thank you, GirlVentures!

Thanks again to you and your team for your wonderful work on behalf of the girls. This is very close to my heart: created and instructed by women, for future independent women. What a great opportunity for the girls to share, enjoy and experience the power of being a woman!

I should let you and the GirlVentures organization know how greatly I appreciate the character building lessons and experiences gained through GirlVentures — physical and mental challenges, self-learning/awareness, self-reliance, group reliance/participation/dynamics — and am glad that there are opportunities for her continued participation.
