WOW! Next spring, Her Wilderness is stepping into something deeply meaningful. We’re inviting a group of women to join us on our second mission trip: a 7-day immersive experience in Belize where we’ll walk in faith, serve with open hearts, and be part of something far bigger than ourselves.

This journey is designed especially for women who have never done anything like this before. You do not need prior mission experience, travel experience, or ministry experience to join us. Right now, we have a group of 11 women who have done this with us in Belize before and for almost all of them it was their very first mission trip. You don’t have to be a perfect Christian, you don’t have to know everything about the bible, you do not have to be fluent in prayer. We just ask that you come with no expectations and allow God to move through you and grow you during the week. If you have a heart to serve and a willingness to learn, you will fit right in. This trip isn’t about perfection, it’s about saying yes.

For this trip, we’re prioritizing safety, comfort, and peaceful rest after long ministry days.
We’ll be staying at a Hotel & Restaurant with a secure, beachfront location with:

• Comfortable shared rooms (2 per room, each person gets their own bed)

• On-site restaurant

• Pool

• Easy access for team gatherings, meals, and debriefs

This will be our home base throughout the week until we transfer to the coast for our island free days.

Trip Highlights

Our ministry focus will center around four core areas. These may adjust slightly once our final community placement is assigned, but these are our confirmed pillars of service:

1. Food Ministry Distribution

We will assemble and distribute food bags to 40 families in need and distribute them to the local community in the church we serve, plus a small village nearby. Our team has a dedicated budget to purchase supplies locally (rice, beans, flour, oil, canned goods, etc.). This ministry allows us to meet real, immediate needs while praying for and encouraging families.

2. CONSTRUCTION

While we still don’t know what this will look like we understand there is a deep need for HELP here in this community. We will continue to pray with and over the church we are serving to see where they need this help. We may build a house for someone in need. We may assist in physically planting a church. This ministry will take a lot of dedication and a lot of fundraising.

3. Vacation Bible School (VBS)

We’ll lead a three-day themed VBS for 50-100 children in the community. We have a dedicated budget for this ministry and our hope is to roll over unused funds from other projects to enrich this program even more. Expect songs, crafts, lessons, joy, and so much laughter.

4. Women’s Bible Study Night

We’ll host a women’s ministry night at our partner church, introducing a 5-week Bible study and gifting each woman with a study workbook. The women will continue the study for the four weeks after we leave, allowing the impact to continue long past our time there.

Free Day + Island Add-On

We have one and half free days built into the itinerary, a cultural adventure fully planned by our ministry partners. In addition, our group decided to extend our time together with an extra night of rest and celebration at the end of the week. We’ll spend Thursday, April 29 and Friday, April 30th on Caye Caulker Island, a dreamy, laid-back coastal community known for turquoise water, golf carts, and slow island living. The day that we travel and arrive to the island is all included in this cost, but anything you want to do see, eat or buy is not included.

What It Means to Serve

Mission work isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up. Open, willing, and ready to be used. When we serve, we reflect the heart of Jesus: humble, compassionate, and present. Whether we’re teaching children, supporting a women’s group, painting a wall, or simply listening, we’re helping build something that lasts long after we return home: relationships, encouragement, and hope. If you’ve ever felt that quiet nudge to do something that matters, this is your invitation. You don’t need a background in ministry. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to say yes.

Why Belize?

With its turquoise waters, palm-lined beaches, and vibrant Caribbean culture, Belize is as breathtaking as it is welcoming. But beyond the beauty, this small Central American nation also holds great need and a deep openness to partnership and faith. Belize is the only country in Central America where English is the official language, making it easy to build real, meaningful connections with the people we serve. April is one of the best times to visit: warm (but not stifling) temperatures, sunny skies, and dry conditions make it ideal for both ministry and exploration. Think mid-80s days, cool breezes, and tropical sunsets that will leave you in awe. Our trip is powered by a trusted partner with decades-long relationships in Belize. They’ll match us with a local church or ministry where our gifts will make the greatest impact and they’ll be with us every step of the way.

Lets talk about fundraising

This year we are doing something a little different. We are asking each woman to raise at least $500. If everyone reaches this goal, we will have about $12,000 to support construction projects and other needs for the church. This is not meant to come out of your own pocket. Instead, we will work together and come up with ideas to reach this goal. This could look like hosting a bake sale, asking your local church for support, sharing your trip with friends and family, or getting creative in your own community. Her Wilderness will also support this effort by selling shirts and donating the profits. There are many ways to make this happen, and we will help you along the way. We simply ask that everyone contributes and takes part in reaching this goal together.

Who This Is For

This trip is for the woman who’s ready to do something that truly matters. Whether you’re coming with a friend, your daughter, or on your own, you’ll be welcomed just as you are. You don’t need ministry experience. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up with a heart to serve and a willingness to grow. We believe there’s something powerful about women gathering in faith, stepping into the unknown together, and using their gifts to make a lasting impact. This is not a retreat. It’s a calling. And we are so honored to walk into it with you.

Where We’ll Serve

Our ministry location in Belize will be selected based on the needs of our trusted local church partners. We have an established relationship with a church in Corozal District and we will share that privately with the group once we start meeting!

Safety & Support

Safety is a top priority. Our mission partner provides in-country staff who are trained, experienced, and with us 24/7. From secure transportation and lodging to emergency protocols and purified water, every detail is covered to ensure a peaceful, protected experience for our team.

Meals

Enjoy three delicious meals a day, freshly prepared and safe to eat, with a blend of Belizean flavors and familiar comforts. We’ll accommodate dietary restrictions as best we can, and we recommend bringing a few personal snacks if you have more specific needs.

Come With Us

This is a different kind of Her Wilderness experience, less about wild landscapes and more about wild faith. A week of humble service, genuine connection, and real transformation. Come with us to Belize. Let’s serve, grow, and walk boldly together.

WHY HER WILDERNESS?

Since 2019, Her Wilderness has been redefining the outdoor space for women. Our mission is to empower women through meaningful outdoor experiences, whether that’s hunting, fishing, hiking, or simply stepping into nature with confidence. Every trip we offer is designed to help you grow, connect, and feel truly alive. We know outdoor adventures can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to it. That’s why our trips are women-only, designed to be welcoming, safe, and encouraging. No judgment. No pressure. Just a group of like-minded women supporting each other as we explore new skills and discover new passions.

LODGING ACCOMMODATIONS 

The lodging accommodations that are included in your trip are always tailored to women looking for a welcoming and spacious atmosphere to foster friendships! Our cozy accommodations offer ample room to relax and unwind, featuring large common areas where you can connect with fellow guests.  When selecting a space, we prioritize spaces that create a serene escape, complemented by shared amenities that encourage camaraderie and comfort. You’ll find well-maintained shared bedrooms and bathrooms, ensuring a pleasant experience for everyone. Please note that during this trip, you may need to share a bed / bedroom with another participant. We appreciate your understanding as this helps foster a sense of camaraderie and community among all attendees. Feel free to socialize in the kitchen and living areas or enjoy the fresh air outside. Whether you’re joining us for a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, we strive to choose an environment that nurtures a sense of community while providing all the comforts of home. Embrace the chance to make new friends and create lasting memories during this unique experience! Once you connect with your trip coordinator, they will share more specific details about your lodging accommodations.

Yes, we know this part might seem a bit tedious, but it’s important! We kindly ask that everyone who registers for a trip visits the FAQs and Policy page on our website. If you sign up for a trip without reviewing this information, it’s your responsibility. There’s a wealth of valuable information there that could influence your decision. Please make sure to check out all the FAQs and Policies on our website before signing up for a trip with us. Thank you!

We want to ensure that every trip with Her Wilderness is enjoyable and memorable, but we acknowledge that sometimes things don’t go as planned. Mother Nature has a significant impact on our outdoor adventures, so we encourage you to approach each trip with a positive attitude and a "go with the flow" mindset. If this feels unreasonable to you, we kindly ask that you reconsider registering for our events. Weather can be unpredictable, affecting activities like hiking, hunting, and fishing, and our top priority is always your safety. For instance, if your trip is focused on duck hunting but our guide believes a goose hunt is more feasible, we will follow their expert recommendation. If this kind of flexibility is not something you're comfortable with, we encourage you to think twice about joining us. We expect all participants to maintain a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances. Many of our trips have faced changes, cancellations, or rescheduling, yet the understanding and adaptability of the group have made all the difference that still allows for an incredible experience! We take pride in creating fun experiences, even in challenging situations. Please be aware that our trips may involve sharing accommodations with others, unpredictable weather that could impact planned activities, limited bathroom facilities for larger groups, and the possibility of not harvesting the specific animal you hoped for. These are real scenarios that can arise, and while we’ll do our best to minimize issues, they can happen. We strive to maintain a drama-free and stress-free environment. If any participant brings negativity or drama, they will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be allowed to return. Our goal is to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and valued, so we ask for your cooperation in keeping a cool, calm, and collected attitude throughout the trip. We truly appreciate each of our customers and are committed to providing the best possible experience for all participants. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to creating unforgettable memories together!
