Get Ready For Your Epic BWCA Adventure

Videos, lists and resources to get you feeling confident and ready to go on your amazing adventure!

These resources have been thoughtfully created by a veteran BWCA goer and guide. My goal is to help people get past their self imposed limits and get out into these amazing Wild Lands.

These resources are the same that I give to each and every person that goes with me on my guided Adventure Retreats. This is a living course. I add to it every year. You get lifetime access to everything! You will never be asked for another dime, no matter how the course continues to expand.  
My goal is to have a beautiful, easy to follow and truly helpful library of resources for those setting out on their first BWCA trip, those that have gone countless times but might be now bringing in a larger group, kids, or those with diverse abilities. Those that have gone countless times or this is their first water ways adventure, will get tips and tricks along with resources and lists that help them to get fully prepared to get out there, safely and confidently.
BONUS: I have included an exclusive bonus. A beautiful workbook that is truly unique. It is exactly what I and every one of my BWCA goers use to get our minds and spirit ready for this epic journey. It includes thoughtful worksheets to set your intentions, assess where you are at now and what the deep desires of your heart are. When we remove ourselves from our everyday lives with all of the noise, we enter a space that is full of expansive and transformative shifts and possibilities. This workbook sets you up for these shifts to happen easily and nearly effortlessly. The work book also goes through water meditations and goes into the history of this beautiful place and its continued use as a valuable resource to all of us.

Some of the topics covered are:

  • Helpful videos on topics most often asked about in my BWCA classes.
  • Resources and tips that walk you through getting permits, planning your trip and what to do when you get to camp!
  • Practical checklists for personal packing as well as what would be needed for a fully outfitted trip.
  • Tips and tricks for bringing in kids.
  • In depth safety video and a whole safety section in the planner.
  • Fill in the blank itinerary and menu pages.
  • Sample menu ideas (Amy's Wild Lands Adventure Cookbook coming in Winter 2025)
  • Pretrip Workbook 
  • Details about gear and exactly how to best pack for  your adventure
  • How to portage video
  • Mandatory videos to watch by the Superior National Forest conveniently linked here
  • Lifetime access!
  • A lot of these recourses can be cobbled together with hours of YouTube watching, taking local classes, raking through countless forums. I've cut through all of that, added in 35 years of BWCA experience and put the best things together for you in one place. You may still want to watch some videos on YouTube about knots or trying a new paddle stroke. But everything in this course will take you a long way to knowing you can do this and feeling confident about it!

A bit about me and why I am so passionate to get as many people into the BWCA as I can.

Over 35 years of BWCA experience has taught me so much. I go with 1 year olds and 80 year olds. Folks whom have never paddled before and those that have gone on dozens of trips. The physical, mental, emotional and spiritual challenges that arise, in every trip, stretch me in ways that allow for huge growth in my life. This is expansive and always exactly what is the highest and best for each person. I want everyone to feel this magic that these unique spaces gift us with.
 








As a former high adventure guide, current BWCA guide and a current health care practitioner, I take health and safety very seriously. I personally keep up on CPR, First aid, Wilderness First Aid, Small Craft Water Safety. My experience along with my formal training helps when things go sideways. I created the safety pieces of this course with that in mind. We will never be able to predict what happens in life and on a trip. That's the beauty of letting go and being in the flow of life. However, we can be prepared.






This is a sacred land. It transcends time and connects us to those whom have traveled the same routes we go. As individuals we bring so much to our group, our own skills, perspective, goals and intentions. Once here we also realize we are a part of the whole. This coming together is so transformative and its what poets and sages write books about. We can all come together to this phenomenal space and hear what is whispered to our soul in the peace and beauty of a sacred land. Whether you are solo, with a large group or just with one other, you will feel this connection with all of those you meet on this unique water way. This course  has been molded with this in mind.
