Taking the Leap: What a Hut-to-Hut Trek in Sweden Taught Me About Outdoor Classrooms & Community
What happens when you say yes before you feel completely ready?
In this episode, I’m taking you along on my hut-to-hut trek through Sweden—and sharing the unexpected lessons I brought home about courage, Outdoor Classrooms, and community.
Along the trail, I was reminded that we don't need to see the entire path before taking the first step. Whether you're trekking through Sweden or growing an Outdoor Classroom, sometimes you simply need to focus on the next hut.
In this episode, we explore:
- Saying yes before you feel completely ready
- Taking your Outdoor Classroom one step at a time
- Learning to embrace uncertainty and discomfort
- Why who you walk with matters
- How the CIRCLE can be the community that walks alongside you
So, what's your next hut?
You don't need to have the whole trail mapped out—and you don't have to walk it alone.
