At Women’s Wilderness, we believe that all girls, regardless of ability to pay, should have access to life-changing wilderness experiences.  We have been doing this work for TWENTY years this summer!

We are currently fundraising for our Get Us to the Trailhead campaign, which will ensure that 2018 continues our twenty-year tradition of NEVER turning away a girl in financial need.  

We will be hosing our 20th birthday party on May 20th, 2018 at Flagstaff Summit – The party is FREE and open to everyone in our community.  You can RSVP HERE.

Donate

In 2017, we awarded over $35,000 in need-based financial aid to girls so that they could participate in our programming.

Over 75% of the girls awarded financial aid come from families that live at under 150% of the Federal Poverty Guideline.

We have never turned a girl away for financial reasons.
