What we’re about
We challenge women to experience wilderness activities and meet new friends in a friendly community.
We are not a group or club as we keep things fluid because different events pique different interests. We exist to get people to stretch outside their comfort zone, get into God's great outdoors, and to create a non-threatening, supportive community where one can try different outdoor experiences. Our events have devotions, and sometimes worship services, while focusing on community, and adventure.
