Doing this with courage, knowledge and joy. Our goals include igniting (or re-igniting if lost) women’s passion for the outdoors in an unplugged manner so she can experience the incredible rejuvenation in full that nature offers and to encourage women to interact with the outdoors on a regular basis for their mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
Wondering if we can accommodate your idea or outdoor dream? Just ask. Want to paddle, camp, backpack, kayak camp or hike somewhere but not sure you can handle it on your own?
