WOW – Washington Outdoor Women

Welcome to Washington Outdoor Women (WOW)!

Our Mission – To teach women and girls traditional and relevant outdoor skills through hands-on workshops to achieve confidence and self-reliance; to feel actively connected to the outdoors as good stewards of our environment, and to pass on these values to the next generation.

Whether new to an outdoor skill or upping your knowledge base, WOW can help you gain confidence to go further when you get out there as a Washington Outdoor Woman. We look forward to seeing you in the outdoors!
