Jenice Smith lives in a small Alberta mountain town raising kids to love the outdoors. She shares how she got into adventuring with her parents. We discuss how courses have helped prepare her family for bigger paddle trips (key for her sea kayaking trip!) and ski trips.
Jenice chats about how important it is to find your people to go on trips on to share the load of packing, setting up camp, food prep, and expert skills. She encourages moms to dream big and even if it’s only small steps today…these trips are beautiful and they shape the family.
We talk about planning and preparing for a wilderness trip and some books her family enjoys in the tent! I was so inspired by her 11-day trip on the Stikine River as she shared about wildlife encounters and how doing the trip with friends and connecting with locals was super key.
