What Makes Women's Outdoor Connection Different?
Most outdoor events introduce you to activities.
Women's Outdoor Connection introduces you to the women behind the adventures.
In one afternoon, you'll meet leaders of up to 20 Pacific Northwest outdoor organizations—all in one place.
Whether you're interested in hiking, kayaking, skiing, climbing, camping, surfing, mountain biking, or trying something completely new, you can ask questions and make connections that can help you get outside all year long.
The person you meet at Women's Outdoor Connection could be the one who says, "Want to go hiking next Saturday?"
What You'll Experience
💬Find your People
We make it easier to meet people, with a fun icebreaker and continuing through small-group outdoor conversations and plenty of time to connect.
🤝 Meet the Experts
Talk with experienced outdoor leaders, ask questions, and discover groups, activities, and opportunities you may not have known about.
🌲 A Year of Adventure
Leave inspired with new ideas, new connections, and new opportunities to get outside all year long.
What Women Are Saying
"I left inspired and motivated to stay active and involved in the outdoor community."
"The opportunity to meet new people and discover exciting local outdoor organizations was fantastic."
Who You're Helping
Each year, together with our attendees and partners, we raise funds for Mary's Place, helping women and families in our community.
Every connection made at the event helps strengthen another connection beyond it.
