Couples adventure coaching is a specialized approach that focuses on strengthening relationships between partners through shared outdoor experiences and adventures. Our program is tailored to each couple, and we work with them individually and in groups to identify their goals, interests, strengths and areas for growth. The learning marries well with customized adventure experiences that challenge and support you as a team.
 

Our main objective is to help couples establish a deeper connection by engaging in shared experiences that take them out of their comfort zones, enhance trust, and foster communication. Rock climbing, horseback riding, running or hiking, and kayaking will be the vehicles to rejuvenate your relationship.
 

By participating in couples adventure coaching, partners can develop important skills such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving that are fundamental for building and maintaining healthy relationships. Additionally, couples adventure coaching can help you rekindle your relationship, break out of old patterns, and create new shared experiences and memories that will strengthen their bond.
