RECAP: SheJumps Whitewater Rafting in Richmond, VA

Article by Alicia Monahan, Southeast Region Ambassador We were stoke to hold a Whitewater Rafting event in Richmond, VA, especially since there was so much interest in doing a whitewater rafting trip via the Facebook group. There was stoke, as well as hesitation, as some wanted to raft, but did not want a crazy and intense adventure. This trip was perfect for those who wanted an intro to rafting, and/or to simply experience the James River. Over a week out, the forecast was

RECAP: SheJumps into the Trees

Recap: Sunrise SUP Yoga on the James

Article and Photos by Alicia Monahan, Event Host Waking up before the sun, on a Saturday, is generally not my thing…unless there is something fun going on. I had been looking forward to the SheJumps SUP YOGA event, and popped out of bed, eager to get going. I put my most comfortable river attire on, grabbed my morning coffee and headed out the door. It was a cool morning, a welcome break from the heat waves we have been having. The mugginess that normally envelopes you in the

Recap: SheJumps Sunset Urban Hike

Written by Holly Carlson, SheJumps Southeast Host Cars filed in one by one to the 22nd street parking lot of the James River Park System. We all squinted through our rain splattered windows to see if we could recognize other jumpers. We are talking downpour. It was a crack-your-window-and-get-soaked kind of downpour. Finally a break in the rain allowed us to get out of our cars and make quick introductions followed by “should we do this?” Photo: Kelly Drewnowski First, a litt
