Our Programs
Freeflow is open to everyone. You need not be a student, a confident writer, or experienced in the outdoors to join us in the field. The only requisite is that you’re stoked on learning, connecting, and co-creating a shared adventure. And while most Freeflow courses are university-accredited, they don’t feel overly academic in nature.
Scholarship opportunities will be announced at the start of the new year. Sign up for our very infrequent newsletter for updates on courses, scholarships, and other good things.
