Join the I.E. or the O.C. Group!
The Outdoorswomen Club
is an Art and Wilderness Institute Club designed to create a space for women only (No Kids or Men) to get outdoors, get comfortable with different trails, and meet other women who also want to develop an appreciation for the outdoors. It is also a space where you can have a set time to exercise, nature journal outdoors, draw, or do whatever it is that fills your spirit with appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature, while also resetting your "you-time".
The goal is that if you are comfortable on different trails, you can also take your kids there and teach them some of what you learn on the hikes. Once you get familiar with the trails and plants, you will also have the opportunity later on to help lead hikes for Art and Wilderness Institute if you wish to do so.
Our Motto is
Explore, Connect, Create and GROW..
The growing begins by exploring what we have out here in OC.

Who is leading the hike? Scroll down to see our current club leaders.
Once enough of you ladies have hiked enough with us and feel comfortable, you can also lead hikes too on trails we have already done. In the future so we can offer the meetings more frequently and expand the club. The best way to learn after all is to teach. The best way to find happiness is to give back.
Can kids come? No. This is for ladies only. No kids under the age of 18 are allowed to join. Babies and infants who cannot walk yet are welcome to come as long as you can strap them to your back or hold them on the hike.
Can I bring friends with me who are not signed up? No. If your friends wish to come, they must sign up through our website to join the club.
Do I have to go to every hike or meetup? No, you can just join when you can but if you miss 3 in a row, you will be bumped off the Whatsap group and back onto the waitlist. The next lady on the waitlist will take that spot. To keep our hiking group size manageable, we will need to keep you on standby if you are not joining in frequently enough.
Meeting time is between 6am and 6:30am depending on where we are meeting. We hit the trail on time and if you are late, you end up playing a nice fun game of hike and go seek..
