Overview

Whether you’re new to camping or this is your next GirlVentures course, this trip among the towering redwoods will keep you in awe of both nature and yourself. 

Redwood Adventure is for girls and gender non-conforming youth entering 6th and 7th grade. Participants spend 7 days and 6 nights backpacking and camping on the Sonoma Coast.


While living in nature youth will learn to live with each other, creating their ideal community norms. They will sleep in 3-4 person tents each night, and take turns cooking nutritious meals for each other. All this while learning the importance of Leave No Trace Ethics, and the connection between people and natural world. 

All GirlVentures courses are offered on a sliding scale and all gear, food, and transportation from the GirlVentures office in Oakland.

GirlVentures is an amazing experience for young girls. Project Courage offered my step-daughter the opportunity to be independent, forge new friendships, connect with nature, discover herself and break from technology. She left for her adventure a bit nervous and very excited, and she came home confident, motivated and strong. I see the effect it has had on her in little ways ever day. Two feet out the door of leaving the Welcome Home gathering she asked if she could go again next year. Yes, absolutely!! I cannot recommend this program and organization enough to parents with daughters. It is an experience they will never forget and lessons and skills they will apply for a lifetime. Thank you, GirlVentures!

Thanks again to you and your team for your wonderful work on behalf of the girls. This is very close to my heart: created and instructed by women, for future independent women. What a great opportunity for the girls to share, enjoy and experience the power of being a woman!

I should let you and the GirlVentures organization know how greatly I appreciate the character building lessons and experiences gained through GirlVentures — physical and mental challenges, self-learning/awareness, self-reliance, group reliance/participation/dynamics — and am glad that there are opportunities for her continued participation.
