Why girls-only
Where it all started.
Andrea ran her first girls-only multisport adventure camp in 2016. Girls camps are still at the heart of what we do.
Room to try
No boys watching and no pressure to already be good at it. Girls try the hill, fall off, laugh and try again.
Women leading
Girls learn from women coaches who look a lot like who they could become.
A bit of everything
Biking, hiking, bushcraft and nature skills, so every girl finds something she wants to keep doing.
"Amazing confidence-building experiences for girls. I appreciate they recognize the need for girls-only activities with women coaches, so inspiring!"
Questions
Good to know.
What ages are the girls camps for?
Girls adventure camps are for ages 9 to 13. In 2027 we're also starting new programs for teen girls ages 13 to 16.
Where do you run girls camps?
Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Cranbrook, and all four are back in 2027. We're also adding girls camps in more BC communities in 2027. If you'd like one in your town, let us know.
What do girls do at camp?
A mix of mountain biking, hiking, bushcraft and nature skills, depending on the camp. Each camp page has the details for that community.
Does my daughter need experience?
No. Camps are built for girls at every level, and coaches meet each girl where she's at. For bike days, she should be able to ride a bike on her own.
Who coaches the girls camps?
Our girls camps are coached by women. Every AIL coach completes our own training, lead coaches hold first aid, and lead mountain bike coaches hold PMBIA or GSMBC Level 1 certification at minimum. Bike programs run at 1 coach for every 6 girls, and other activities at 1 for every 8.
When does registration open for 2027?
Kamloops summer camp registration, including girls-only weeks, opens in January 2027. Vernon, Kelowna and Cranbrook dates will be posted on each camp's page.
Is there help with camp costs?
Yes. Our campership program covers some or all of the camp fees for girls whose families need a hand, funded by anonymous donors. If cost is what's holding you back, please reach out.
What if we need to cancel?
If you cancel 30 or more days before camp starts, you get a full refund minus $25, or a 100% credit. From 15 to 29 days before, it's a 50% refund or a 75% credit. At 14 days or fewer, you get a 25% credit. Credits are good for 12 months on any AIL program. The full details are on our cancellation policy page.
Questions about our girls programs?
We're happy to help you find the right fit for your daughter's age, location and interests.
