About Us
AUTHENTIC
Creating a community of strong, adventurous women through the empowerment that comes from taking charge of your own education. Our goal is to teach women that they can so that nobody can ever tell them that they can't. We guide educational experiences that promote independence and self-sufficiency, encouraging all women to pursue more adventures outside. Let's go farther, jump higher and get our hands dirty! We maintain a diverse, welcoming environment; every woman who wants to participate shall!
ACCESSIBLE
wildHERness aims to recruit new outdoor enthusiasts of any age. All experience levels are welcome! We know it can be intimidating to get started in the outdoors. Our mentors and educators have been there, some more recently than others! Bottom line: we always provide a comfortable, pressure-free learning environment. Once a skill has been developed through our events or workshops, women have opportunities to give back by helping someone else find their passion.
ADVENTURE
Because we are of the opinion that cost should never be a barrier to participation, our clinics and events are free to low-cost. By volunteering in our own communities, we find ways to support those that support us! Whether it be through conservation of wild places and wild spaces, patronizing woman-owned businesses, supporting our community is vital.
WHAT WE DO
We do it all! Hiking, hunting, backpacking, fishing, kayaking, climbing, shooting, camping, star gazing, cooking, crafting, bird watching. Regardless of content or how peripherally related to the outdoors a class may seem, education and skill-building are the heart of every wildHERness event. No outdoor pursuit is ever off limits! Our class offerings are as diverse as the people attending them.
Events and workshops are held regularly and cover a variety of topics. We offer a non-competitive, skills-based approach to learning through the provision of progressive activities with the goal of self-sufficiency and outdoor competence. If you have a desire to learn something new, we can help make it happen!
