Does a wilderness canoe trip make you more creative?

5/8/15 – Tune in to WTIP-FM tonight at 5:20 pm to hear psychology professor Frank Ferraro talk about his research that suggests that people experience a significant boost in creativity during and immediately after a wilderness canoe trip.
Frank is a longtime Sawbill customer and co-leader of a college class from Nebraskan Wesleyan University called “The Necessity of Wilderness” that outfits through Sawbill Canoe Outfitters.
I believe that almost everyone who travels for more than a few days in a wilderness setting feels a change in their thinking and attitude, but it’s always nice to have data to back up your intuition.
You can listen to WTIP by clicking this link or go to WTIP.org. I will post a link to the archived interview when it’s available. – Bill
