Looking for a summer camp that goes beyond the usual? One that helps your child build confidence, connect with others, and truly discover who they are—while exploring the beauty of Colorado (and beyond)?
Women’s Wilderness Summer Youth Programs offer exactly that.
πΏ A Summer of Growth, Adventure, and Belonging
At Women’s Wilderness, summer isn’t just about getting outside (though there’s plenty of that!). It’s about helping youth grow in:
- Self-awareness
- Social connection
- Authentic leadership
Through thoughtfully designed outdoor experiences, campers build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self—all while forming meaningful friendships and unforgettable memories.
These programs are intentionally created for girls, non-binary, and gender expansive youth, offering a supportive and inclusive environment where every participant can feel seen, valued, and empowered.
ποΈ Programs for Grades 4–12
Women’s Wilderness offers a range of experiences for youth entering grades 4–12 (approximately ages 8–18), with options that meet kids where they are—whether they’re new to outdoor adventures or ready for a bigger challenge.
From local day camps along the Front Range to multi-day backpacking and climbing adventures, every course centers around connection—to self, to others, and to the natural world.
