The Basecamp Experience

Basecamp trips are designed to make backpacking feel more approachable without taking away the adventure. We handle the route planning, permits, meals, camp logistics, and overall flow of the trip so you can spend less time stressing over details and more time enjoying the experience.

Whether you’re newer to overnight trips or simply looking for a more supported way to explore, these trips are built to help you feel comfortable, capable, and connected outside.

Thoughtfully Guided from Start to Finish

Long trail days through forests and mountain terrain. Slow mornings at camp with coffee in hand. Shared meals after a full day outside. Conversations that happen naturally somewhere between the switchbacks and campfire.

Each trip is intentionally designed with a supportive pace, time to take in the surroundings, and space to enjoy being outside without feeling rushed.

Your experience

These trips are for women who want to spend more time outside, challenge themselves in meaningful ways, and experience backpacking in a supportive environment.

You don’t need to be an expert backpacker or the strongest person in the group to belong here. Whether you’re getting back into hiking, trying your first overnight trip, or looking for new adventure partners, Basecamp is designed to help you feel more confident outside.
