About Us
Adventure Queens is a not-for-profit women’s adventure community, run entirely by volunteers.
We help delicately smash down barriers that prevent women from going on outdoor adventures and help them realise their full potential. We’re free to join, highly accessible and completely inclusive, for anyone that identifies as a woman.
We host spaces, both outdoors and online, to bring the community together to share stories, experiences and advice in safe, supportive and non-judgmental ways. It’s about sharing skills and building confidence for the everyday adventurer to grow.
Since 2017, our outdoor adventure community has grown to over 15,000 women, with 25 regional groups, one Mum’s group and three international groups. We’ve had hundreds of events from campouts, local meet-ups and in-store partner events. And to date, we’ve supported eleven recipients of the Adventure Queens Grant.
