Girls in the Wilderness

Girls in the Wilderness Backpacking and outdoor rites of passage trips for girls! We are a team of women who met and became close friends while doing our own inner work.

Bonding over our shared love of fun and profound nature adventures, we have joined together to make wilderness rites of passage journeys available to girls. We are dedicated to ensuring a reflective, creative, and fun adventure by offering our own unique talents and gifts within the context of a safe and welcoming community. Here is peek into who we are…. Kim Felix, mother of 2 daughters (ages 10

& 13), is a beekeeper, outdoor preschool teacher, former wilderness firefighter and enjoys frolicking in nature as often as she can! Meghan O'Hara is a health coach and dietician, avid hiker, climber, backpacker and lover of nature and children (she was a camp counselor for 7 summers and is a lucky aunt of 4 wonderful nieces). Nechelle Dismer is a preschool teacher and a nanny, she loves spending her time with children as well as in nature. Mara Belzer is a web designer, art teacher, former summer camp counselor/camp lifeguard, and nature adventures are her most favorite thing in the world.

We’ve just returned from another magical wilderness trip along the Sonoma Coast in Northern California! Four days of camping brought hikes to sandy cove beaches, tide pooling, warm river swimming, lunch in driftwood forts, learning to cook on a camp stove, hammocking, ukulele songs, whittling marshmallow sticks, new friends and more! But the most precious moments always happen around the campfire - a time that’s become a safe space to drop deeply into our hearts, open up and find the courage to share what’s true for each of us - our struggles and our celebrations, with tears and with laughter. All is welcome around our campfire - deep acceptance of ourselves and others - and finding comfort in the truth that we’re truly never alone. So much gratitude to these girls who courageously choose to embark on these wilderness journeys - it’s an honor to have you join us! @ Salt Point State Park
