Who Are We?
Washington Women Outdoors (WWO) is a non-profit organization that is run almost entirely by volunteers. We engage in outdoor activities in the Washington, DC area where women share skills, experience, strengths, and support to enhance and expand each woman's world. We welcome women of diverse ages, races, and lifestyles. WWO provides instruction by women for women. Activities are available for all skill levels to inspire the beginner and to challenge the more advanced.

Who are WWO Members?
We are independent women seeking adventure in the outdoors. We have a passion for hiking, biking, rock climbing, caving, backpacking, rafting, canoeing, kayaking and skiing... anything that tests our strength and broadens our horizons. We enjoy meeting new people who want to travel with us to beautiful places in the wilderness. We are open to learning new things that may at first be frightening. We are women who lead and who have the trust to follow. We invite you to join us.

Our activities help women develop their competence, comfort and natural place in the outdoors. We offer, by example and training, a program for leadership development. We encourage each woman's sense of well-being and power. We enjoy and strive to protect the earth that we share with all living creatures.
