Empower, Explore, and Elevate: Camp KO’s All-Girl Hiking Camp

Get ready to lace up your boots and hit the trails with Camp KO’s All-Girl Hiking Camp, an empowering week-long adventure designed to inspire leadership, build resilience, and foster a love for the great outdoors.

But this isn’t just any hiking camp—it’s a one-of-a-kind experience led by two extraordinary women:

  • Lhakpa Sherpa, the incredible “Mountain Queen,” who holds the world record for the most summits of Mount Everest by a woman. Her story of courage and perseverance will inspire every camper to reach new heights.

  • Kristen Valenti, a trailblazing Instagrammer and avid outdoor enthusiast known for her breathtaking hiking adventures and commitment to encouraging women to explore nature. Kristen will share her tips on capturing memories and embracing the beauty of every hike.

 

What Makes the All-Girl Hiking Camp So Special?

This camp goes beyond the physical activity of hiking. It’s a journey of self-discovery and camaraderie where girls will:

  • Explore Scenic Trails: From wooded paths to serene overlooks, campers will experience some of Connecticut’s most stunning hiking spots.

  • Build Confidence: Guided by Lhakpa and Kristen, girls will develop leadership skills and resilience while pushing their limits in a supportive, all-female environment.

  • Learn Outdoor Skills: From trail navigation to mindfulness in nature, campers will gain valuable knowledge they can carry into every future adventure.

  • Create Lasting Memories: The bonds formed on the trail will last a lifetime, as will the stories they bring home.

 

Why an All-Girl Camp?

There’s something powerful about an environment where girls can thrive together, free to embrace challenges, celebrate successes, and lift each other up. With the guidance of two inspiring role models, this camp is a chance to discover strength, courage, and the joy of exploring nature.
