How it works
-
01 - Pick an adventure
Choose from day trips, week-long camps during school breaks, and overnight camping trips. No experience needed.
-
02 - Apply and pay what works
Fill out the application for the adventure she wants. Fees are on a sliding scale, because cost should never keep a girl indoors.
-
03 - We handle the rest
Experienced guides lead every trip and teach every skill. Gear is provided. Transportation is included on many trips.
Every Girl Belongs Outside
The Wild Way welcomes girls of every background and experience level, especially those who haven’t had the chance to explore the outdoors before. We’re inclusive of all girl-identified youth, including cis, trans, and non-binary girls. And income should never stand in the way: every program is sliding-scale, with financial support for any family that needs it.
If you’d like to make a cash donation, donate used or in-kind gear, or even volunteer, please reach out!
Our purpose
Confidence isn't something girls are born with. It's built, one hard, new, slightly scary thing at a time. Out on the river, the rock wall, or the trail, she finds out what she can do.
Thank you to our sponsors and partners!
