Wilderness Wanderers is an adventure-packed camp designed for Girl Scout Cadettes and older, as well as adult volunteers interested in learning wilderness hiking and backpacking skills. Begin your journey indoors, mastering the essentials of wilderness hiking and backpacking, from gear and nutrition to clothing and trail safety. By Night 3, you’ll be under the stars in a backpacking tent, testing your skills and cooking dinner on your own backpacking stove. On Day 4, it’s time to hit the trail for a 5-mile overnight backpacking trip, where you’ll camp in the heart of nature. With new skills, confidence, and unforgettable memories, you’ll return on Day 5 ready to take on any adventure.
Registration opening soon!
Spend the morning in the classroom and the afternoon on the trail learning safety, gear basics, Leave No Trace, and leadership skills. Build confidence to guide your Girl Scouts on outdoor day hikes.
Start in the classroom learning backpacking essentials—gear, meals, routes, and more—then head out a few weeks later for an overnight trip to put your skills into action. Take your first steps toward leading future troop adventures.

Our Adult Paddle Camping trip along the Willamette River Waterway Trail was a weekend of camaraderie and adventure. 14 intrepid adventurers traveled 23 river miles from Keizer Rapids Park to the San Salvador boat launch.
Wilderness Hiking courses are 1-day events. The first half of the course is inside, learning the basics about gear and getting yourself and your troop prepared. The second half of the day is spent on the trail, engaged in experiential learning.
A fun overnight at Cleawox! Day 1 was all about getting comfortable in our canoes, learning strokes and practicing techniques on the water. Day 2 took us to the Siltcoos Lake for a fun adventure on the water!
