We have members all over North America, and small but growing communities in Europe and Australia! Women in the Wild started as a small community in British Columbia, Canada, and after 3 years we've grown to over 100,000 all over the world.

The thing is though, if everyone waited for *someone else* in their area to join first, this community would never grow.

We have the typical "hot spots" like BC, WA, CA, CO, NY, etc. and chances are, there's someone at least within a state/province or two away, maybe even within an hour or two. So join the community and get into the group chats. When you connect with other members near you, you can work together to organize and host free community events, which will bring in more members near you!

Our members range from 20-72, and that's just what I know of - there may be women who are even younger or more mature.

The average age tends to be 30-50.

Women of any age may join our community and participate in the chats, however women must be 18+ to join events and travel with us, unless otherwise specified.

Absolutely! Women in the Wild was created to bring adventurous women together, remove barriers to outdoor activities, and support each other in our development and growth.

It is up to you to decide which events are the right fit for you in regards to difficulty levels, but there are opportunities for women of all experience and skill levels to join and create events.

If you'd like to better prepare yourself for adventures with us (or on your own), consider taking some of our online or in-person courses.

An event can be a lot of things! It can be broken down into 4 main categories, and then get into further details from there.

1. Meetups: these are member- or ambassador-led events that are free to join and span any kind of adventure including day hikes, multi-day trips, rock climbing days, paddle sessions, camping weekends, sauna sessions, and anything else you can come up with!
2. Masterclasses: these are free online sessions led by industry experts. Members of our Trail Ready online course get access to the replays of all our past masterclasses.
3. Courses: these are usually paid events which are either online or in-person and led by certified guides.
4. Community Trips/Travel: these are group trips around the world! We put together the itinerary, hire the guides, book the hotels and activities, and get everything organized - you just have to show up! (Paid, of course)

Maybe! And if there isn't, create one!

This community is run by one person (me, Trish, hi!), and I live in BC Canada. I also work a full time job in forestry before coming home to work on WitW after-hours and on the weekends. I simply can't be everywhere, or plan events all over the world - that's up to you, our members. I also can't go into our upcoming events and look this up every time someone asks, because let me tell you... it's multiple times a day I get this question.

We do have 15 ambassadors across North America and they all host several free events per year, but members are encouraged to organize and host free events as well.

Also, to maintain privacy, I will not share information about our member events publicly.

Registered members can see our upcoming Meetups within our community, under the Meetups tabs.

Masterclasses can be found here.

Courses can be found here.

Travel opportunities can be found here.

Members who choose to travel with us must be 18+ unless otherwise stated.

There is no maximum age, however it is up to your discretion to decide if a particular trip is right for you and your physical fitness level.

You can find information on our upcoming trips on our Travel page.

All our trips are priced as double occupancy unless otherwise stated. Most of our trips there is an option upon sign-up to pay extra to have single occupancy accommodations.

If you are travelling with someone, we will automatically pair you together. If you are travelling solo, we do our best to pair women together that we think would be a good fit together.

Occasionally, we host co-ed trips. However, these trips are not open to the general public - men can not come on their own, uninvited.

On co-ed trips, men must be invited by a Women in the Wild member and typically, this can only be her boyfriend/husband. To remain aligned with our principles of maintaining a safe environment for all our members, you may not bring a friend/cousin/brother/father/son etc. unless otherwise stated.

Every trip is different, but for the most part, yes!

There will be opportunity for you to state your food preferences and restrictions during the sign-up process. We make every effort possible to ensure anyone with restrictions is accommodated for!

Most of the time, yes! Occasionally there are trips that we can not accommodate single occupancy, but most of the time we can. Single occupancy supplements are limited, so securing your spot early is your best chance at having the option of single occupancy.
