For the wild women and non-binary folks out there looking to push their limit a bit further with their backpacking skills, this course is the chance to spend some time in the woods finding a deep outdoor connection!

This two night trip will take place in the North Cascades mountains, with three days of hiking and learning about the local ecosystems and backcountry skills from our professional instructors. This course will also include some time to practice being alone in the outdoors. The instructors will also help you prepare for the course and assemble and pack the appropriate gear. Participants will learn all about plant and animal identification, camping techniques and site selection, backcountry cooking, and what to do when nature calls! Our wild women program is intergeneration, with past participants ranging from their 20s to their 70s, so there is a place for you here!

Come join us for a chance to connect with other womxn, find your place in the outdoors, and be empowered to backpack with confidence!
