Alpengirl Camp offers a wide range of outdoor activities, many of which are designed to be challenging yet accessible for girls of all skill levels. The activities are intentionally structured to promote personal growth, teamwork, and a connection with nature. Each of our itineraries offers a unique blend of the following activities that highlight the best that the region has to offer:1. Backpacking and Hiking:Girls embark on multi-day backpacking trips through scenic wilderness areas. These treks encourage physical fitness, self-reliance, and problem-solving skills. Each trip is designed to be both challenging and rewarding, with plenty of opportunities to reflect on personal growth.2. Rock Climbing:Some camps provide rock climbing experiences on natural rock faces. Girls learn climbing techniques, safety practices, and gain a sense of accomplishment as they conquer various challenges. Rock climbing is particularly empowering, as it requires both physical strength and mental focus. *All rock climbing activities are facilitated by contracted professional outfitters.3. Whitewater Rafting:Whitewater rafting is an exhilarating part of the Alpengirl experience. Girls will have the chance to raft down rivers with varying levels of difficulty, navigating rapids, learning about water safety, and mastering teamwork on the water. Whitewater rafting is a thrilling way for campers to build trust, communication skills, and develop their confidence in a dynamic outdoor environment. *All whitewater rafting activities are facilitated by contracted professional outfitters.4. Horseback Riding:Campers can enjoy the beauty of the wilderness on horseback, exploring scenic trails and learning foundational riding skills. Whether they are beginners or have previous riding experience, girls will gain confidence in their abilities while riding through forests, meadows, and rolling hills. The emphasis is on building a strong bond with the horses and understanding animal care, including grooming and saddling. *All horseback riding activities are facilitated by contracted professional outfitters.5. Backcountry Horse Packing and Llama Packing:For a truly immersive wilderness experience, campers can participate in backcountry horse packing or llama packing trips. These multi-day excursions take girls deep into remote wilderness areas, where they travel by horseback or on foot, carrying their gear on pack horses or llamas. Backcountry animal packing combines the challenge of wilderness camping with the unique opportunity to build connections with their animals. Campers will develop leadership skills as they work together to manage the logistics of the trip, care for the animals, and navigate the backcountry terrain. *All animal packing activities are facilitated by contracted professional outfitters.6. Canoeing, Kayaking, and Stand-Up Paddle-boarding:In areas with lakes or rivers, girls have the chance to paddle on the water, learning techniques for canoeing and kayaking. These activities build confidence and teamwork, as well as a connection to water-based environments.7. Outdoor Survival Skills:Alpengirl campers are taught practical survival skills, including fire-making, shelter-building, navigation (using maps and compasses), cooking over an open fire, and wilderness first aid. These skills are not only fun to learn but also valuable for fostering a sense of independence and competence in the outdoors. Campers are able to earn "skill beads" for the skills that they've committed to mastering throughout the session.8. Environmental Education:The camp integrates environmental education into its programs by helping campers learn about local ecosystems, wildlife, and sustainable practices. Activities include nature walks, flora/fauna identification, and group discussions on Leave No Trace ethics and practices. Girls are encouraged to become eco-conscious leaders, making mindful decisions about their impact on the planet.9. Sea Kayaking:In coastal locations, Alpengirl offers sea kayaking excursions, where girls paddle along stunning shorelines, explore hidden coves, and learn about the unique coastal ecosystems. Sea kayaking promotes awareness of tidal patterns, navigation, and wildlife observation. It’s a beautiful and peaceful way for girls to connect with water and enjoy the serenity of the sea. *All sea kayaking activities are facilitated by contracted professional outfitters.
