Fall 2025
Our school-year weekend program is designed for girls and gender non-conforming youth in Middle School and High School. It consists of several day trips and 1 overnight camping trip to Point Reyes National Seashore and other Bay Area parks, including one overnight kayak expedition on Tomales Bay. 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.
Program Dates: Saturdays October 18-19 (overnight), 25, November 1, 8, 15, 22.
*Please save December 6th as a makeup week day in the event of a cancellation. Also, while we have moved the overnight to earlier in the session to avoid weather cancellations, please be prepared to shift the overnight weekend dates should weather necessitate a postponement.
9:00am-5:00pm (Times may vary depending on the activities scheduled that day.)
