Our programs focus on breaking down barriers that stand between women and their outdoor aspirations. 

Our Mission is to create welcoming recreation experiences that encourage confidence, wellness, growth, and joy for all women.

Mountain Biking

Introductory and intermediate rides at Galbraith throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Always free, always fun.

Sea Kayaking

Gentle, community-oriented sunset paddles on Bellingham Bay with the Community Boating Center. All summer long!

Road Biking

Safe and informative environments for new riders to feel comfortable riding bikes on the roads of Whatcom County. 

Backpacking

Day hikes and overnight backpacking trips for those excited to learn new skills or dust of the old boots.

“Amazing! I learned, I was challenged, I was empowered! I found a new hobby, and had a fantastically wild time exloring, bonding, laughing and adventuring.”
