Mother-Daughter Adventures

For Every Mother -Daughter Team

Who are Alpengirl’s Mother-Daughter Adventures meant for?

These one-of-a-kind adventures are for moms who have been eager to experience Alpengirl firsthand, campers who aren’t quite ready to embark on a trip on their own, and any mother-daughter duo excited to explore the outdoors together. Along the way, you’ll share plenty of laughs, try new activities side by side, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

With guidance from our experienced Alpenguides, you’ll learn new skills, build confidence, and grow together in a supportive small-group setting, all while discovering the joy of exploring the outdoors.

Mother-Daughter Trip Age Groups

To create a close-knit group experience while giving campers the chance to learn and grow alongside girls in a similar stage of life, we offer two age groups for our Mother-Daughter trips:

  • Classic: Rising 5th–9th graders and adult (6 days)

  • Extended: Rising 8th–11th graders and adult (7 days)

If your daughter falls somewhere in the middle, let’s chat! We’re happy to help you find the best fit for your family.

A note about tuition: Mother-Daughter trip tuition covers one mother-daughter pair (two people). Hoping to bring multiple children or adults? Reach out to discuss a custom payment arrangement!

Behind the Trips

Alpengirl has spent decades helping girls build confidence, curiosity, and joy through outdoor adventure.

Our Mother-Daughter Trips grew from a simple idea: offer teens the same dynamic Alpengirl experience, but add something extra — the chance to connect with their moms. Time spent together in nature creates lasting memories, strengthens bonds, and sparks growth for both generations.

These trips aren’t just about adventure. They’re about connection, laughter, and discovering new sides of each other. Because some of life’s most meaningful lessons happen on the trail, we created a space where mothers and daughters can explore, play, and grow — together.

I really can’t say enough positive things about the Alpengirl experience from a parent’s perspective! My daughter started with Alpengirl at age 12, flying across the country to get to Montana. She experienced the beautiful outdoors for two solid weeks, gaining an appreciation for nature and adventure that we couldn’t have given her. She made great friendships, learned leadership, gained tremendous self-confidence and self-esteem. She was more active than ever before in her life, and to this day continues to be both active and a healthy eater. I would highly encourage any parent to send their daughter to Alpengirl!

Three of my favorite summers were spent hiking, kayaking, and canoeing with Alpengirl! I can’t think of three experiences which impacted me as much as Alpengirl where I found my love for the outdoors, for travel, and for new experiences. I owe a big thanks to my counselors, my fellow Alpengirls, and the outdoors for these trips. I would recommend Alpengirl with more stars than five if it were possible!
