A GLOBAL GATHERING FOR OUTDOOR WOMEN & HUNTERS

CONNECT AND LEARN WITH OTHER LIKE-MINDED WILDERNESS WOMEN

June 9-14 2025. ASHTON, IDAHO

This lifestyle is not forgotten and it is important to preserve it for us all.

Women have created waves of change throughout history and this June…

a new wave is forming.

For All Women Ages 16+

 

Hosted by : Tana Grenda & Team

We envisioned an event where women will gather from all over the world in the Idaho hills to learn, bond, grow and teach about all things hunting and the outdoors.

Passing on these skills and this mindset is becoming more and more rare and isolated. This is a Rendezvous by strong, confident, outdoor women to forge more outdoor-loving women. Our daughters need us, and the next generation needs us.

For centuries, men have dominated the outdoor spaces. Many of them have graciously introduced the women in their lives to it and welcomed them into this space but it has taken a long time for women to feel confident enough to call this space their own.

This event is created by women who are confident alone in these wild places, and want to help plant that seed of ownership into the hearts of the women who come.

Our mission is to bring each wild woman globally to one place and connect them with others just like them.

We want each woman to go home with their wild spirit rekindled, more confident, and better equipped to chase their own adventures.
