Women’s Wilderness is a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 1998 in Boulder, Colorado. The organization’s mission is to create power in the outdoors. It is committed to creating space for girls, women, and non-binary people of all ages and backgrounds to find their place, their voice, and their power in the outdoors, and it takes a gender-expansive and intersectional approach to leading people in the outdoors. Women’s Wilderness is one of the first and still one of the only gender-informed organizations providing direct outdoor experiences in the world. It is also a licensed child care provider in the State of Colorado.
All backcountry instructors are Wilderness First Responder certified and trained in creating safe experiences for girls, women, and LGBTQ+ folks, and the organization strives to ensure people with shared identities are leading courses, such as women leading girls, LGBTQ+ people leading queer courses, and BIPOC people leading BIPOC programs. Women’s Wilderness offers affinity spaces such as TRAILBLAZERS for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and OUTDOORG.I.R.L.S. for girls who identify as immigrant, refugee, asylee, or newcomer. The organization acknowledges and conducts programs on land that was once stewarded and inhabited by indigenous people of the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Goshute, Shoshone, Apache, Pueblo, and Zuni tribes. Summit Sisters is described as an immersive weekend of exploration, creativity, and play, and as the organization’s biggest annual gathering and an invitation to grow alongside a circle of seasoned facilitators, artists, and adventurers.
