🌿 Adventure Awaits
A community for women looking for friendship, fun, and a little more girlhood.
Girlhood in the Woods is a women-led membership community creating space for connection, adventure, and fun — both outdoors and beyond.
From cozy gatherings and creative nights to hikes, day trips, seasonal adventures, and retreats, we make it easier to meet new people, try something different, and build friendships along the way.
Come for the experiences. Stay for the community. 🤎
What is Girlhood in the Woods?
A community where friendship meets adventure.
Girlhood in the Woods was created for women who are craving connection, new experiences, and a community where they can simply show up as themselves.
While nature will always be part of our story, GITWs has grown into something bigger than the outdoors.
It's coffee dates and campfires.
It's beach sunsets and craft nights.
It's trying something new with women you just met.
It's laughing until your stomach hurts, making plans for next weekend, and slowly realizing that these women are becoming your people.
You don't have to be outdoorsy.
You don't need experience.
You don't need to come with a friend.
You just have to show up.

🌿 Ways to Experience Girlhood in the Woods
Community Events
Our regular gatherings are the heart of Girlhood in the Woods.
From cozy nights and creative activities to seasonal celebrations, coffee meetups, game nights, picnics, and everything in between, our events are designed to make meeting people feel a little easier.
Low-pressure. Welcoming. A little bit girly. Always about connection.
🛍️ Market Swaps
Some of our favorite experiences are the ones that become traditions.
Market swaps, seasonal gatherings, creative nights, community challenges, and little moments that give us something to look forward to.
They're not about being perfect or having something impressive to bring.
They're about showing up, sharing something, and connecting.
✈️ Day Trips
Looking for a little adventure without committing to an entire weekend?
Our day trips are curated experiences designed to help you explore somewhere new, try something different, and spend a day with women in the community.

Sometimes you need more than a few hours together.
Our retreats are cozy, small-group experiences designed to give you a chance to slow down, get away from everyday life, and really connect.
Think cabins, nature, shared meals, campfires, activities, late-night conversations, and a weekend surrounded by women who are looking for the same thing you are.

🌸 You Don't Have to Know Anyone to Come
One of the hardest parts about making new friends as an adult is simply showing up alone.
That's why Girlhood in the Woods is designed to make that part a little easier.
You can come alone.
You can bring a friend.
You can be shy.
You can be outgoing.
You can know everyone.
You can know absolutely no one.
There's room for you here.
🌿 Why Girlhood in the Woods?
Because sometimes you just need a place to:
🤎 Meet new people
🌿 Get outside
✨ Try something new
☕ Have something to look forward to
🎨 Make memories
🌸 Feel connected
🫶 Find your people
Girlhood in the Woods isn't about being the most adventurous person in the room.
It's not about having the right gear.
It's not about being outdoorsy enough.
It's about having a place to show up, be yourself, and experience life alongside other women.
🌲 Come Find Your People
Friendship can start anywhere.
At the beach.
On a trail.
Over coffee.
Around a craft table.
During a day trip.
At a bonfire.
In a cabin.
Or at an event you almost didn't go to.
Sometimes you just have to show up.
