Outdoor Adventure Based Training For Women

Vermont Outdoor Guide Association has been running Women's Doe Camp weekend retreats for over 20 years. While the programs have changed over time, the mission has remained the same: too provide affordable hands-on outdoor skill development training for women throughout the state.

Connect with like minded adventurous women by joining our brand new private group, Doe Camp Nation on Facebook.

Due to many requests, we have created a private Facebook group page for adventurous women.
You can connect with like minded women, post day trips and outings and invite members to attend, post gatherings, share tips on different activities/resources, ask for advice, post or find women's outdoor events, share and ask for outdoor health information, get discounts on gear/lodging/services, post photos, videos and more!
