Description

We are excited to provide teen girls, ages 13-19, with a hiking program right in their backyard! Our region has fantastic local hiking spots, State Park trail systems, and we are only a short distance from Shenandoah National Park with some of the best views in the state. This program will offer participants the opportunity to learn about nature, bond with peers, and experience hikes over varied terrain. Participants will have the opportunity to learn basic wilderness first aid, leave no trace principles, and various hiking skills. There will be plenty of sightseeing and fun while participants hike in forests, alongside rivers, and summit mountains!

Our group of skilled female hikers have decades of combined experience. They are AT-thru hikers, Master Naturalists, Nutritionists, and Leave No Trace Educators. Most importantly, they have a passion for outdoor adventures and want to spread their knowledge and love for hiking in Virginia.

*The exact location of each hike may change depending on weather or trail conditions. A welcome packet and gear list will be provided with each signup.

Shipping & Returns

They let me loose on the website so I’m going bananas!

Because you are awesome, like me, I’m offering Free Standard Shipping on most orders over $150. Free shipping does not include oversized items. Seriously, were you expecting me to ship you a kayak for free??

You are going to be happy with your purchase.  Trust me, I know these things.  However, if your new gear doesn’t bring you joy, like a cold banana smoothie on a hot summer’s day, then return it for a replacement or a refund.  Don’t ruin it for the next person – make sure your item is unused and returned without destroying the packaging.  We’re not animals here!

I’m feeling generous so I’m going to give you 90-days to make a return.  Plenty of time for your mate to forgot you purchased it then you can casually slip it into your gear bag and forget all about returning it in the first place.  No judgment from this monkey.

Don’t be cheap…I can’t accept returns on clearance or consignment items.  Even this monkey has its limits.  Just give it to your best mate as a birthday or holiday gift.  Like they say around here…pass the adventure on!
