OUR PROGRAMS
empowerHER
empowerHER is a year-round outdoor mentorship program for girls living in the Upper Arkansas River Valley who want to get outside, try new things, and find their crew.
From mountain biking and climbing to whatever adventure comes next, each week is a chance to build confidence, learn new skills, and feel more at home in the outdoors, all in a supportive, all-girls environment.
No experience needed! We’ll meet you where you’re at. Just show up ready to try. We’ll take care of the rest.
No cost to participate
All gear, food, and transportation included
All levels welcome
Our empowerHER Fall session takes place on Friday or Sunday starting September 4th. Open to female-identifying participants grades 6 - 12.
Fall Session 2026
Venture On
Venture On (formerly leadHERship) is for high school girls in Chaffee County and nearby communities who want to get outside, try new things, and grow their tribe.
During the school year, we keep it low-key with once-a-month drop-in days. We do fun activities like hiking, paddleboarding, climbing, or really whatever we’re feeling. There is no attendance policy or requirement to come every month.
