Sea Changes

Sea Changes is a new program that offers free kayak trips and wilderness walks to women of all ages that face life-changing challenges. It is our belief that nature can be a powerful teacher and healer for all of us. When faced with challenges, spending time in nature can help to center and bring joy back into our lives.

These groups include:

Abused women
Homeless
Guardian ad Litem
Foster Children
Troubled youth

These and similar programs are encouraged to contact us. All walks and kayak trips are operated by Find Yourself Outdoors, llc.

Kayak Trips

   All trips include basic instruction, kayaks, safety gear and a one to two-hour guided trip. A maximum of six paddlers can be taken out at one time. Larger groups can run shifts of shorter times to allow everyone a chance to kayak. Sites listed have been chosen because of their calm waters and abundant wildlife.
