Why We’re Different

 

 

This isn’t about squeezing people onto a campsite. It’s about intimate, meaningful, life-changing adventure.

We keep group sizes small (max 10 women) so you get real guidance, real connection, and real moments that stay with you long after the weekend ends.

 

You’ll always have at least two of our core coaches present, ensuring personal support, safety, and inspiration at every step.

 

 

 

 

Public & Private Weekends

 

 

While our Women’s Wilderness Weekends are open to the public, we also offer private events tailored to the needs of welfare groups, corporations, and team-building sessions. These private weekends are designed to foster teamwork, resilience, and personal growth within your team, group, or organization.

 

Private weekends include:

 

• Customised activities tailored to your group’s goals

• Team-building challenges designed to build trust and communication

Whether you’re a corporate team looking to bond, a welfare group seeking empowerment through nature, or a group of friends wanting a transformative weekend, we will create an experience that meets your specific needs.

Our April 2025 Women’s Wilderness Weekend left hearts full, friendships formed, and fires lit within. Here’s what our participants had to say:

 

“This was beyond what I ever expected. I came for a break, and left feeling stronger, braver, and more alive than I have in years.”

– Participant, April 2025

 

“You created such a safe space. I didn’t think I’d be laughing so much, or lighting my own fire. I needed this more than I knew.”

– Participant, April 2025

 

“This weekend reminded me what I’m capable of. I didn’t know I needed a challenge until I met it.”

– Participant, April 2025

 

Feedback highlights:

 

• 78% of participants said the weekend exceeded their expectations

• 100% said their expectations were met or exceeded

• Suggestions were small and constructive (a few bumps in the tent pitch!)—but the experience itself was described as “transformative,” “unforgettable,” and “exactly what I needed.”

 

 

This is more than just camping. It’s connection. Courage. Community.

 

And every single woman leaves with a story, a spark, and a reminder of her strength.
