What IS it???
Four- to twelve-days of wilderness adventure, with a group of other girls and two very cool women staff. It’s kind of like a camp, but better.
You’ll laugh so hard that you can’t stop. You’ll get to know a group of girls in the kind of “real” way that makes the deepest friendships. You’ll learn the outdoor skills that will set you up for a lifetime of adventures.
These courses are for ALL girls! Some girls who come are “outdoorsy”, with previous experience camping and hiking, but most come just to do something adventurous and to meet new people.
Never been backpacking? You can do it! Being fit helps, but girls of all levels of fitness and of all body types have done these courses.
Make new friends! No better way than doing an adventure together. Most girls come without knowing anybody ahead of time.
Think you can’t afford it? We’re committed to making this available to everybody, and we have lots of financial aid. Ask your parents to give us a call.
