Backpacking Camps         Girls Summer Camps

This backpacking girls camp adventure is set in the heart of the Alpengirl homeland, SW Montana, Yellowstone country, the land of pioneers, howling wolves, and majestic purple mountains that rise up from golden plains. This trip is perfect for new and returning teen adventure campers with a love for backcountry expedition and backpacking. It is what girls with Great Altitudes desire!

Backpacking: Wilderness travel basics and Leave No Trace skills are taught right from the beginning on all Alpengirl trips and are relied upon throughout this adventure. During the 4-day backpacking trip we'll travel between 4 and 8 miles each day to mountain lakes, through alpine meadows, and along rocky ridges to summit peaks. This itinerary will prove to be personally rewarding to each girl. It will make you feel on top of this world! Each of you will carry your own gear plus some group gear; your load is about 30% of your body weight. The weight you carry is dependent on your physical size and ability. Backpacking will feel difficult to if you have never tried it before. This backpacking trip is meant to challenge you and allow you to feel the rewards of your efforts as well as prove to you that it is FUN!

Canoeing: Our adventure continues in Idaho on the flat waters of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River for a river day full of sun and Alpenolympic water fights. View nesting osprey, mysterious underwater grasses and moose in the willows, as well an occasional American eagle.

Final Celebration: The town of West Yellowstone is host for our souvenir shopping and final pizza party celebration followed by attending a western rodeo! This will complete 8 days of unforgettable adventure under the big skies of Montana.
