About Adventurous Women’s Camp

A weekend for women who’ve spent years taking care of everyone else
and finally deserve a place where they are taken care of.

Play. Connect. Unplug.

A tech-free, decision-free, soul filling retreat in the heart of Red River Gorge.

ABOUT US

WHAT IS AN ADVENTUROUS WOMAN?

“An adventurous person is characterized by a willingness to take risks and engage in new, exciting, and sometimes challenging experiences, rather than sticking to the familiar or comfortable. They are eager to explore new places, try different ideas, and often have a daring and bold spirit, embracing the unknown rather than avoiding it.”

At AWC, you get to be whoever you want to be.

You don’t have to make a single decision.
You don’t have to cook a single meal or wash a single dish.
You don’t have to entertain anyone, manage kids, or perform for the world.
Just show up. Breathe. Laugh. Wander.
We’ll handle the rest.

To give women a place where they feel safe, seen, supported, and wildly free, even if only for one weekend.

This camp is for you if…

You want a restorative break from being “on” all the time
You crave deep conversations and easy friendships
You’re tired of planning everything for everyone
You love nature but also appreciate cozy glamping comforts
You want to unplug from screens and reconnect with yourself
You’re looking for fun: hikes, crafts, games, connection, creativity
You want a space that’s welcoming, non-religious, and non-political

This camp is not for you if…

You prefer a high drama, party hard environment
You aren’t interested in connecting with others
You need to stay plugged into your phone or work
You’re looking for a couples event
You don’t enjoy the outdoors at all

VALUES

Tech-Free Reset

You’ll be surprised how quickly your nervous system settles when the noise fades away. We intentionally unplug so we can be fully present.

Women-Only Space

A safe, nurturing environment for women to relax, play, heal, and connect without pressure or performance.

Inclusive

We are a welcoming space for all women. Non-religious, non-political, we are inclusive of all identities and backgrounds.

If you’re reading this, I already know something about you:

You spend most of your life doing things for everyone else.

You hold families together.

You say yes even when you’re exhausted.

You carry the weight no one sees.

And somewhere along the way… no one stopped to ask, “What do you need?”

This camp was born during a moment when my own life was flipped upside down. I needed time away from screens, noise, pressure, and responsibility. I needed nature. I needed community. I needed real conversations and real connection.

There’s a quiet kind of healing that only happens when you let yourself be still. When you slow down enough to get a little bored, breathe fresh air, and open up to the women around you.

Women who, despite different stories, are far more like you than you think.

This camp is the place I needed. Now it’s here for you, too.

At camp, you’re supported from the moment you arrive to the moment you drive home. You don’t have to plan, decide, manage, or juggle anything. You just get to be.

Laugh around the fire.

Hike and breathe deeply.

Make new friends who feel like old ones.

Feel free again, in a way you haven’t in years.

I created this camp so women could finally come home to themselves. I hope you’ll join us.

With love,
