WREN, Rider Park and Deep Green Journey partner for women’s overnight backpacking trip Aug. 16-17

Women Reconnecting and Engaging with Nature (WREN), Rider Park and Deep Green Journey have announced a partnership to host a beginner-friendly women’s backpacking trip this summer.
​
The overnight event will take place Aug. 16–17 in Loyalsock State Forest, with the goal of helping women build confidence in the outdoors. Participants will hike approximately 2.5 miles to a hemlock-shaded campsite, where they’ll learn basic backpacking skills and enjoy activities that encourage a deeper connection with nature.

The collaboration reflects a shared mission among the partners. WREN focuses on helping women reconnect with nature through monthly programs such as hiking, kayaking and nature journaling. Rider Park offers miles of scenic trails and peaceful vistas ideal for beginners. Deep Green Journey provides immersive outdoor experiences, including forest therapy walks and backpacking trips, to foster healing and personal growth.
