Behind the Trips
Alpengirl has spent decades helping girls build confidence, curiosity, and joy through outdoor adventure.
Trailblazer Adventures are designed for rising 7th–9th graders who are ready for bigger challenges, new destinations, and more time exploring the outdoors. With experienced female guides and a group of girls sharing the experience, campers have the chance to build on their wilderness skills, strengthen friendships, and discover what they’re capable of along the way.
These trips are about more than reaching a destination or learning a new skill. They’re about working together, trying things that feel a little outside your comfort zone, and building confidence through experience. With more opportunities to explore, learn, and take on new challenges, Trailblazer helps campers grow their skills and get excited about the adventures still ahead.
