Motivational and Educational Speaking

        Jennifer has spoken at elementary schools, universities and everything inbetween.  She has held team building workshops for businesses, goal setting talks for sports teams and fitness presentations for those wanting to get in shape.  Contact Jennifer for testimonials and hire her for your next event!

1 hr presentation:  This will include a powerpoint and story from one or more of my journeys tied into a chosen theme such as goal-setting, conservation, fitness and health, leave-no-trace practices, community giving, or cultural awareness.

Half Day Workshop:  The half-day workshop includes multimedia presentations of past hikes.  It and will cover two to three significant, while leaving time for group projects and hands-on learning.

Full Day Field Trip:  A Full Day Field Trip will be spent in the woods (weather permitting), and will feature a more in depth exploration of individual themes and Wilderness Skills. Groups will be able to customize their experience and curriculum. For example school groups will be able to suggest end-of-grade requirements that can be better understood and taught in an outdoor learning environment (map skills, military time, math skills, etc), older adults may enjoy field trips that focus on flora, fauna, and local wildlife, and church, business, or camp retreats may wish to incorporate communication and team-building challenges into their day.
