About us
Washington Women Outdoors (WWO) is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization hosting outdoor adventures for women in the Washington, DC area since 1977. We engage in a range of activities where women share skills, experience, strengths, and support. We welcome women of diverse ages, races, and lifestyles. WWO provides instruction by women for women. Activities are available for all skill levels to inspire the beginner and to challenge the more advanced. We have a passion for hiking, biking, rock climbing, caving, backpacking, kayaking, horseback riding and anything that tests our strength and broadens our horizons. If you are open to learning new things in a supportive environment and enjoy sharing the outdoors with other women, we invite you to join us.
WWO is different than many Meetup groups. We scout our hiking and biking trips. Each trip is led by two leaders. One leader stays at the front of the group and the second leader is the sweep. Each participant is encouraged to participate at her own pace, and the sweep is there to ensure that no one is left behind.
