Look for Fall 2026 updates by August.

Our school-year weekend program is designed for girls and gender non-conforming youth in Middle School and High School. Youth learn to sea kayak, exploring the waters of San Francisco and Tomales Bay, and hike through Point Reyes National Seashore with trained Naturalists to study local ecology and environmental impacts. All field trips are lead by trained GirlVentures Instructors. We’re currently updating this program offering to meet the increased needs of school and community partners and look forward to updating our community before the fall season.

Please review the Course Description for a detailed itinerary and information regarding transportation to/from program sites. Participants will be contacted about meeting locations before their selected dates.

Program Costs

We offer a range of sliding scale options to ensure that financial hardship is not a barrier to participation. Course fees contribute to our basic programs costs. We ask that families self-assess their circumstances and pay what they can and work with school and community partners to ensure as broad access and participation as possible. Please review our Payment Policy before applying, and please contact keri@girlventures.org for needs outside of these options, including payment plans.
