About your organizer

Wander Women started in 2018 as a way to connect, guide and empower women on all-inclusive camping and hiking trips throughout Iowa. We saw a chance to bring together a community of folks in nature to relax, reconnect to a deep love of the outdoors and build new relationships to others and ourselves. Now, just a few years later, our community is larger than we could have imagined and we’ve expanded to offer backpacking trips, paddling trips and educational courses to women all across the state. It’s a dream come true!
