Join us for the biggest event we’ve ever thrown, a community campout we’re calling Camp Wander!
One of the founding tenets of Wander Women was a deep belief in community, and the power nature has to bring folks together. And boy, do we need community now more than ever!
Our dreams of a big, community campout have been bubbling for years, and we are SO excited to finally bring this idea to life this fall! Imagine the best aspects of summer camp: arts & crafts, beautiful hikes, big bonfires and making new friends. That’s the spirit of the weekend, and we hope you’ll join us and embrace all the amazing vibes this community has to offer.
This weekend will be less programmed than a regular Wander Women trip, with a focus on good quality time spent in nature and with friends. We’ll laugh, we’ll probably cry, and we’ll have a weekend to remember in one of our favorite places in Iowa.
