Women Only Adventures
|
In 2022 we realised our ambition to create a dedicated programme designed to get women out and enjoying the great outdoors.
Women face many barriers to participation in outdoor activities and we wanted to create a safe, supportive space where women could thrive. Pirongia Outdoor Women Adventures, POWA, is a group for like-minded women who want to get out and enjoy the great outdoors to come together. It connects women with activities, training, advice, equipment, shared experiences and opportunities for getting out and about in the Waikato. We also run a series of Women Only Events, that has so far included Adventure Days, High Ropes, Kayaking, Tramping and Caving. Join us! POWA is free to join and open to all women. We have a Facebook group that any woman can join where we launch our own Women Only events and where women can share activities, articles of interest and link together to undertake their own outdoor adventures.

"Such a confidence boost - it was really awesome to try these things in a group where I didn't feel intimidated or too unfit to give it a go. It was also a lovely way to meet some awesome women and I didn't feel left out at all even though I attended alone."
