Women's Wilderness Skills Camp

Join us for a unique outdoor camp that is all about growth and empowerment.

At Burns Outfitting, we tailor make your outdoor adventure, with options that suit your interests. We focus on teaching essential skills and getting you ready to make decisions about your next wilderness activity, so that when it is time to make your own plans, you feel confident in your preparation.

As affordable as a Ladies weekend away…your takeaways will be lifelong skills to impress and teach your own people. We strive to make your learning experience as valuable as possible - no question is too silly, no concern to small, we are here to help you learn at your pace!


Not only will you leave with new skill sets and confidence, but you will also meet and forge friendships with women for future pursuits! Our ‘Next Adventure’ series for subscribed members gives you advance access and discounts to our exclusive events with partnered Outfitters and groups throughout Alberta and BC.


Discover the joy of pushing boundaries and growing alongside like-minded women at Burns Outfitting, where the spirit of exploration thrives.
