Women’s Backpacking Full-Day Workshop & Overnight Adventure. Be. Empowered. Outdoors.

Join us for a full day backpacking class and overnight trip designed for women of all fitness levels who want to connect with nature, build confidence, and master essential backpacking skills. Whether you’re a beginner or seeking to deepen your outdoor knowledge, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to learn and explore in a supportive, all-women environment.

This online platform will only let us post for Day 1 of our adventure, but the full event takes place Nov 1-3 .

The weekend itinerary is as follows.

Day 1 (Friday): Full-day workshop at Island Ford Adventures basecamp where you’ll get hands-on experience with the basics of backpacking from experienced instructors. Dive into practical knowledge that will prepare you for your overnight adventure.

Days 2 & 3 (Saturday-Sunday): Set out on a 2-mile backpacking trip into the beautiful Pisgah National Forest. You’ll put your new skills in to practice, from setting up camp and gathering water to hanging a bear bag. The adventure ends with a sunset hike before spending the night under the stars. We’ll hike back out together on Sunday and plan to be back at basecamp by 1:00 PM.
