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.
