WELCOME TO SEND FEMME

We exist to help women (cis/non-cis) and gender minorities send male dominated outdoor sports such as backpacking, climbing, skiing, snowboarding, backcountry touring, trail running, mountaineering, and mountain biking.

We do this through community empowerment, multiple avenues of education, free in-person meet ups, and multi-sport glamping retreats.

We welcome women/people of all skill and fitness levels, body types, races, ages, ethnicities, religious beliefs, abilities, economic status, gender identities, and sexual orientation at birth.

SEND FEMME

send: verb – to really go for it, particularly in outdoor sport (and in life); to summon ones' courage and make a full effort attempt; committing to doing something (subjectively) big and scary

femme: noun; adjective; or verb – woman; feminine; or embodying femininity

Send Femme is brought to you by three lady senders who have been crushing trails, peaks, slopes, and the status quo for the entirety of their lives. In addition to being experienced in backpacking, climbing, running, hiking, and snow sports, all three also have formal education and/or training in medicine, movement, and nutrition.

The three of us are on a mission to get as many women and gender minorities on trail, rock, snow, and ice as we possibly can. We do this by arming you with knowledge, confidence, and friends to send with!!

WHAT SEND FEMME MEMBERS ARE SAYING

We have stoked members of ALL levels and ALL backgrounds sending all over the world together!!! While most of our members are from the USA, we have over 20 members in Canada as well as members in a few countries in both Europe and South America!! Here is what our members have to say about Send Femme.

"I wake up every morning and check the send femme network instead of instagram. I have never been part of such a supportive and badass community. In love with it!!!"

"Women have a voice in the outdoor community, and if you aren’t sure where to go to find your voice, Send femme is it... We are sending big things here!!"

"I thought mountaineering was unachievable for someone like me (a single woman in her 30s). Thanks to send femme, I signed up for courses and I'm climbing my first snowy summit soon."

"the hosts add value to the community almost daily and I am so grateful for all they have done to create a thriving 'no boys club' for outdoor sport."

"thanks to the send guide, the hosts, and the send femme community, I finally started rock climbing after 5 years of wishing i could be a climber. i feel so supported!!"

"I have always said that snow sports are for not me. But send femme and the send guide made me realize that snow sports are for everyone. and now i am learning how to ski."

"after reading the send guide and the additional acticles in the network, I felt confident planning my first backpacking trip on my own. I am going in the spring and I feel prepared."

"everyone in send femme wants to help others. No macho bs or bad energy! I'm so happy I have a beginner friendly community with more experienced people willing to help."

"I love that send femme isn't all about sending the biggest things. it's about facing fears, building confidence, challenging yourself, education, and making friends.".

NOT ONLY FOR WOMEN, JUST NOT FOR MEN

Sorry bros, but this is a no boys club. Send Femme is for women (cis + non-cis), nonbinary folks, genderqueer people, and gender minorities. We welcome anyone with the pronouns she/her or them/they or any combo of the two to join.

How femme you consider or present yourself doesn't matter one bit here, you are SUPER welcome if you feel out of place in the very male-dominated outdoor world.

We offer an LGBTQIA+ group within the network for queer folks (and allies) to connect and bond in a safe place for additional support.
