Women in Wilderness

Empowering Women in Public Land Stewardship

Build Confidence, Skills & Community for the Backcountry

📍 Location: Beartooth Ranch, Stillwater Canyon, bordering the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness

📅 Dates: June 6-8, 2025

Join us on the beautiful Stillwater River of south central Montana for the inaugural Women in Wilderness, an empowering weekend designed to build confidence, self-reliance, and community for women and girls (ages 16+) interested in adventuring and working in a wilderness setting. Whether you are new to outdoor exploration, looking to sharpen your skills, or seeking a community of like-minded women, this immersive experience will provide you with essential backcountry skills, mentorship, and hands-on stewardship opportunities.

Over the course of three days, participants will gain practical skills in crosscut saw use, fire building, Leave No Trace principles, bear safety, campsite setup, and backcountry decision-making. With instruction from expert women in the fields of outdoor leadership, natural resources, and wilderness stewardship, you'll learn in an inclusive and supportive environment.

More than just an educational workshop, Women in Wilderness fosters lasting connections. You’ll meet mentors, role models, and fellow adventurers who share your passion for the outdoors. Our mission is to equip you with the skills and confidence to explore wild places safely while contributing to the stewardship of public lands.

Let’s build skills, confidence, and a network of adventurous women together!

No previous experience is necessary—just a desire to learn, engage, and be part of an incredible community of women in the outdoors!
