  • Participate in monthly hikes to explore nature’s beauty.

  • Engage in enriching activities like yoga, journaling, and indoor climbing.

  • Make a difference with service projects that teach responsibility and community care.

FAQs

  • Adventure teams are groups of 15 girls ages 11-17.

  • Parents or guardians will drop their child off at the gazebo at Tanner Park before each hike.

  • We recommend that your child wears appropriate workout clothing for each activity, including closed toe shoes. Please have your child wear sunscreen and bring water and snacks.

  • Yes, if you would like to apply for a full or partial scholarship, please fill out this form.

  • Your child does not need to prepare ahead of time. If they want to get physically prepared, we recommend going on a 30 minute walk each day at minimum.

“Finding a sense of purpose enables girls to develop their own framework for success, rather than looking at what others are doing as a source of comparison and competition.”
