Your experience includes two thermal contrast therapy sessions, one night of cozy lodging, a light dinner on Saturday, and a simple grab-and-go breakfast on Sunday morning.Nestled on the edge of a frozen Minnesota lakeshore, our private wood-fired sauna becomes the heart of a restorative experience designed to melt away stress and revive your spirit. For one unforgettable night, we’ll gather together in a cozy bunkhouse, share a catered Olive Garden Soup, Salad and Breadstick dinner, practice grounding yoga and sound bowls, and experience both twilight and morning sauna + cold plunge sessions. With each session, the world gets quieter, the steam gets heavier, and your mind becomes clearer.

In this natural wilderness setting, your two-hour session will move at your own pace, nothing is rushed and nothing is required. You’ll begin by settling into a warm, wood-fired cedar sauna on the edge of the lake, letting the heat open your pores, relax your muscles, and quiet your thoughts. When you’re ready, you’ll step outside into the crisp winter air and take a brief plunge into the icy lake through hand-cut openings in the ice. The cold is quick, sharp, and incredibly refreshing. Most women choose to repeat this heat-to-cold cycle a few times, taking breaks to sip water, breathe, laugh, and connect with others in our group. Throughout the session, you’ll be surrounded by a vibrant, supportive community where strangers quickly become friends and everyone moves at a level that feels safe and empowering for their own body.What’s IncludedPrivate 20-person Twilight Sauna Session Saturday Evening (2 hours total)Sit in the glow of a crackling wood-fired stove, breathe deeply, and enjoy the warmth as the sun sets over the snowy landscape.Private 20-person Morning Sauna Session Sunday Morning (2 hours total)Welcome the new day with steam, intention, and a cold plunge opportunity for those who want it.1 Night Lodging in the Sauna Camp BunkhouseA warm, communal space where we’ll gather, rest, and unwind together.

MINNESOTA WINTER SAUNA CAMP + COLD PLUNGE

Her Wilderness

This was my third trip for the ice fishing with Her Wilderness and I 100% recommend! The guides are so helpful and provide great advice to improve your fishing experience. The trip coordinator is amazing, has everything prepared from food to lodging! She makes sure that every single person is taken care of, and really focuses on those that have never been ice fishing before and assists the guides! 

The Maine Sea Duck hunt was a great experience for my first ever duck hunt. The freezing temperatures and crazy wind were out of anyones control, but we all made the best of it and harvested some beautiful birds. I am glad that my first hunt was with a great group of women who never failed to cheer each other on! 

MAINE SEADUCK HUNT

Toni is the best! OTC Fishing were some of the most fun guides. They were so helpful, kind, and willing to have fun with us. Great girls get away!!

Minnesota Ice Fishing & Pike Spearing Weekend

Absolute blast! Wouldn't change a thing! ;) 

i definitely recommend this !! it forces you to meet/talk to new people while experiencing new places as well. 

UPPER MI DOG SLEDDING ADVENTURE

Everything on this trip was absolutely fantastic! Our coordinator was amazing! The communication from start to end was the best! The experience was fantastic all around!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful reflection. Your words honestly capture everything we hope these trips become… not just a hunt, not just an itinerary, but a space where women show up for each other, try new things, laugh through the chaos, and walk away feeling connected in a way that stays with them.

The Iowa pheasant trip was truly special. Watching eight women from all over the country step into the field as strangers and leave as friends is the kind of magic we never take for granted. The spontaneous fly fishing, the tangled lines, the teamwork around the bird cleaning table, the shared wins… it all came together in the best possible way. We’re so grateful you were part of this group and for the heart you brought to the experience. These memories, and these friendships, are exactly why we do what we do.

We can't wait to see you on another trip!

Our recent Iowa Pheasant trip was an unforgettable adventure! Eight women, hailing from five different states, united by our shared passion for the outdoors. We embarked on this journey, not just to hunt birds, but to forge bonds that extended far beyond the field. We hunted side-by-side, shared valuable lessons, erupted in laughter, celebrated our successes together, and even tackled the bird cleaning process as a team. 

Embracing spontaneity, we also threw in an afternoon of fly fishing for trout, as the opportunity presented itself. From the initial awkward stumbles learning how to cast a fly rod, to shared giggles over hopelessly tangled lines, and the meticulous process of changing out flies, we discovered something far greater than just trout and pheasant. We unearthed a profound sense of connection – a connection to the tranquil waters, the expansive fields, the present moment, and most importantly, to one another. The experience of immersing ourselves in nature alongside such remarkable women, cultivating what feels like lifelong friendships, and creating a tapestry of cherished memories, will forever hold a cherished place in our hearts.

Iowa Pheasant, Chukar & Trap Shooting

Thank you so much for this! It means a lot to hear that your first bird hunt with us felt positive, supportive, and full of encouragement. That’s exactly the environment we hope to create, especially for women trying something brand new. We’re so happy your first Her Wilderness trip was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and even happier to hear it won’t be your last. Can’t wait to see you on another adventure!

From start to finish this trip was fantastic! The encouragement from the mentors and attendees created such a positive and supportive environment for someone who has never bird hunted before. This was my first trip with Her Wilderness, but it won't be my last!

NORTH DAKOTA PHEASANT HUNT CLINIC 101

Thank you so much for sharing this! We love hearing how the Oregon Coast trip pushed you just enough out of your comfort zone in the best way. Salmon fishing can definitely feel intimidating, so it’s awesome to hear it ended up being your favorite part of the day. Amanda loved coordinating this one, and our guide will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He’s truly one of the best! Patient, knowledgeable, and such a solid guide to learn from. We’re so glad the day felt fun, easygoing, and memorable. Can’t wait to adventure with you again!

Spent the day on the Oregon Coast bottom fishing & crabbing… and even got the bonus of salmon fishing. 🌊🦀🎣

I’ve always been intimidated by salmon fishing, but this trip gave me the nudge to step out of my comfort zone — and it ended up being the best part.

Amanda kept everything so easygoing and well-coordinated, and Branden was an incredible guide — patient, supportive, and full of knowledge that made the whole experience even better. Couldn’t have asked for a more fun, memorable trip.

OREGON CRABBING & BOTTOM FISHING

Thank you so much for sharing this! We were so excited to bring a trip to Wisconsin, and it means a lot to hear it was a great fit for you. We’re happy the accommodations felt comfortable and that Bri and that the guide made you feel supported the whole way! Hearing that you learned a ton on your first HW trip and are already looking forward to the next one… that’s the best feedback we could ask for. We can’t wait to adventure with you again!

I was very excited to see a local trip to me in Wisconsin! Accommodations were comfortable, the guide was absolutely amazing and our coordinator Bri was very knowledgeable. Between Bri and the our guide Nick, I felt like all of our questions were answered and we learned soo much!! It was my first trip with HW and I’m already looking forward to my next one! 

Wisconsin Early Goose Opener

Thank you so much for this! We’re so glad you had an amazing experience with an amazing group of women. That’s exactly what we hope for every single trip. And your encouragement means the world. If anyone’s on the fence… yes, DO IT! Adventure, connection, and a whole lot of fun are waiting for them.

We loved having you with us and hope to see you on another trip soon!

Amazing experience, with an amazing group of ladies! Anyone on the fence about joining a Her Wilderness trip DO IT! 

Thank you so much for sharing this! Your group brought such an awesome energy, and we’re really glad you felt welcomed and taken care of. We loved spending the weekend with you all. And honestly… you’re right, we could’ve kept the fun going for a couple more days. A little extra training and a little cooler weather sounds like the perfect combo for next time. We appreciate you all showing up with flexibility, good attitudes, and a willingness to learn. Hope we get to adventure with you again soon!

The facility, owners and staff were on point with everything! They were welcoming,  informative and ready for some good safe fun!

We had a great group of flexible girls who probably could've used another couple days to have more training and fun. Maybe during cooler weather though next time ;)

Sniper Training Weekend

Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy to hear you had a wonderful time and felt supported throughout the trip. That’s exactly the kind of experience we aim to create. We can’t wait to have you join us again!

Coordinator was super supportive and helpful. Everything was really straightforward and I had a wonderful time. 

OUTER BANKS DEEP SEA FISHING WEEKEND

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear this trip was everything you hoped for and more. It means the world to know the group felt supportive, fun, and encouraging. We love to hear that your coordinator lead with grace, flexibility, and those top-tier photo skills! We’re lucky to have her, and even luckier to have had you on this adventure. 10/10 right back at you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better group of ladies or a better guide on this trip. Everyone was respectful, fun, supportive, and encouraging with all aspects of the weekend. Big thank you to our organizer Kyndel for being flexible, having great communication, and photo taking skills through out the time we were together.  Thank you Kyndel! 10/10

Kentucky Noodling Trip

Thank you so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear the trip was such a blast and that the fish were showing up in full force. Huge shoutout to Hunter, he truly brings the energy and passion every time. We can’t wait to have you back for another round of bow fishing adventure!

Could not have been a more thrilling trip. The amount of fish we saw was impressive. Hunter was the most enthusiastic, friendly and charismatic guide I’ve ever had! Cannot wait to go back.

BATTLE OF THE BOWS

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you had a great time and that we could be part of helping you check this off your bucket list. We loved sharing the adventure with you!

Great trip! A wonderful group to enjoy a bucket list trip with. 

KANSAS CATTLE DRIVE + WORKING RANCH ADVENTURE

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you had a great time and that the group, the Airbnb, and the hunting and fishing all hit the mark. It means a lot to hear you had a blast, we loved having you and hope to see you on a trip again soon Beth!

We had a great time! The group of girls were great, our air bnb was so nice and the hunting/fishing was such a blast!

FLORIDA IGUANA + PEACOCK BASS COMBO

Hi Ashlan! Thank you so much for the amazing review! We're so happy to hear you had such a fun and memorable experience. It’s always great when the group connects so well, and we’re glad you loved the house and the events. Sam will be thrilled to hear your kind words, she puts so much heart into every trip.

This was such an amazing trip! I absolutely recommend 100%!!! The group got along amazing, the house was adorable, the planned events were so much fun! Sam was amazing!

This trip was meticulously planned out! Great group of ladies, fantastic guides! Lots of local restaurants to choose from.  This was an amazing trip. 

OHIO WOMEN'S LAKE ERIE WALLEYE FISH

Hi Mary! Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you had a great time and enjoyed both the group and the tours. It means a lot to hear that the experience was a positive one, and we hope to have you join us on another adventure soon!

I had a great time. The group was great and the tours were excellent. 

Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're so glad to hear you had an amazing time with Straight Fins Fishing Guide Service, they really know how to get you on the fish! Huge shoutout to Toni Parnell for her excellent coordination, from the cozy Airbnb to the delicious dinner spots. We're especially glad you enjoyed the fish fry, it’s always a favorite! We loved being part of this adventure with you and hope to see you on another Her Wilderness trip soon!

Absolutely wonderful trip!  Straight Fins Fishing Guide Service gotcus on the FISH.  Her Wilderness did fantastic for hooking up with the guide service.  Toni Parnell as the trip coordinator was great!  She arranged a great AirBnB and provided great restaurant suggestions for dinner.  The guide service provided an absolutely wonderful fish fry on our last evening.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a fabulous time and that everything made the trip so special. It was a joy having such a wonderful group of ladies along, and Sam will be so happy to hear how much you appreciated her planning. We can't wait to adventure with you again soon with Her Wilderness!

We had a fabulous trip. Perfectly planned and coordinated by Sam!  Great group of ladies and all of the planned activities, accommodations and wineries  were spectacular. Looking forward to another trip with Her Wilderness and Sam. 

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re so glad to hear you had such a fun day and felt well taken care of from start to finish. It means a lot to us that you noticed the attention we put into planning the event—from the initial email to the coaching and fellowship afterward. We’re happy you enjoyed the extra touches like the goodie bags and raffle. It’s always a pleasure having you with us at our events Abby! We truly hope to see you at another event soon!

This was such a fun day! The event was well organized and you could truly tell there was so much thought put into the day. We were taken care of from the start with an initial email preparing us with what to expect, where to meet, and what to bring (even an extra heads up on the weather to expect for the day. I thought this was particularly thoughtful for those coming from out of town). Once at the event, we were greeted by the coordinator and met with the safety instructor who provided us with helpful tips and advice on having a fun and safe time on the course. Then we were paired up and sent out to our assigned stations so we would all finish around the same time. I was especially pleased to get some one-on-one coaching from a top-level instructor, this was such a bonus! After shooting there was a great time of fellowship and even prizes raffled off and goodie bags for everyone. 

S. CAROLINA SPORTING CLAY SOCIAL

Thank you for your feedback and for joining us at the event! We're glad to hear that you had a great time overall. We understand your concerns about the lack of structure and communication upon arrival. During the event, we made sure to ask every participant if they had experience with shooting clays and shotguns and at this specific everyone said they did! With that in mind we provided a safety talk and basic instructions to ensure everyone was comfortable.

That said, we recognize that there is always room for improvement, and we appreciate your constructive feedback. We're committed to enhancing the experience in future events by improving our communication and ensuring that all participants feel fully guided and supported. We hope to see you at future events and will strive to create a more welcoming and structured environment.

Thank you again for your insights!

We had a great time participating in this event! 
The only downfall was the lack of structure, communication, and instruction upon arrival. This was advertised as a beginner friendly event, and I am very thankful we were not beginners. I do hope there are more events like this going forward, I just pray for more guidance & welcoming leader participation in the future. 

The trip was awesome! Everything was planned out and laid out every well for everyone to be on the same page. The community of women were super inviting and made my first trip super fun.  I was really nervous about the trip. Once I got there and meet everyone that all quickly faded away and soon became a trip that I will never forget. 

SOUTH DAKOTA WOMEN'S SNOW GOOSE HUNT WEEKEND

Despite some rough weather on our last day of hunting and low bird count overall I had an amazing time. The group did not let the elements or lack of birds dwindle their attitudes for the weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls and the guides were fantastic going out of their way to make our time fun and being helpful. This will definitely be a return trip for me!

Had a great time! Very well and organized and room for flexibility. Trip was fantastic, even going from 60s one day to 30s and rain/snow another. 

Had an amazing time, met a lot of great women and got to experience a new way of hunting! The atmosphere and being able to meet a bunch of new people was really cool and i feel like I’ve made some new friends even from the trip. Definitely looking forward to going again next year!

This was my second year on this trip and I loved it even more than the first time, the people, the location, the focus, all of it is perfect and really what I needed after a very hard 2024.

I wish this trip could be longer, feeling like everything is really just 1 day makes the day feel a little hectic, and while I was happy we were all at the Mayhew Inn downtown this year it still felt segregated to rooms instead of really pushing for people to meet in the common areas to get to know each other.

If this trip is offered again though, I will be first in line. 

MINNESOTA WINTER WELLNESS

Winter Wellness Weekend was just what I needed and was amazing! From the peaceful meditation and beautiful nature hikes to the hot sauna session followed by cold plunging in Lake Superior. We ended this weekend with some yoga, self reflection and new friendships. This was all lead by great leaders and very well organized throughout the whole weekend. Highly recommend Her Wilderness and the Winter Wellness Weekend!

Perfect Trip to get away and reset. This weekend was an adventure, lots of firsts for me, definitely grateful for the opportunity to attend and spend time with the Best group of Woman. 

This was the second time I have done this trip with HW and as always it exceeded expectations. Information, plans, and packing list were all detailed and thought out. We had a great group that was able to pivot when the weather interfered with our original plans. With a group this size everything still ran smoothly and everything was basically on time or ahead of schedule! This will ALWAYS be my repeat trip if I can make it!

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear that the Her Wilderness Winter Wellness Weekend exceeded your expectations and offered the perfect balance of adventure, mindfulness, and community. It’s wonderful to know that the activities, from the winter hikes to the fireside reflections, helped foster personal growth and meaningful connections with others. We’re so glad that the mindfulness practices brought a sense of calm and clarity, and that you felt supported and empowered. Your recommendation means the world to us! We couldn't have done this special weekend without you Andrea!!

Her Wilderness Winter Wellness Weekend

The Her Wilderness Winter Wellness Weekend was an incredible experience that perfectly balanced adventure, mindfulness, and community. From start to finish, the event was exceptionally well-organized, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the activities without any worries.

The weekend was filled with invigorating outdoor adventures, from hiking through breathtaking winter landscapes to cozy fireside reflections. Every activity felt intentional, fostering both personal growth and deep connections with like-minded women. The mindfulness practices—whether through yoga, guided meditation, or reflective journaling—helped create a sense of calm and clarity amidst the beauty of nature.

What truly set this retreat apart was the supportive environment cultivated by the incredible leaders. Their warmth, encouragement, and expertise ensured that everyone felt included, empowered, and inspired. Whether you were looking to challenge yourself physically, reconnect with nature, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations, this experience delivered on all fronts.

If you’re seeking a weekend of adventure, self-care, and connection with an amazing community of women, I highly recommend the Her Wilderness Winter Wellness Weekend. It’s a transformative experience that stays with you long after it ends!

Thank you Cassie! We are sure to see you again very soon!!

This trip was exactly what I didn’t know I needed! The experience was amazing! I can’t wait to for the next adventure. Thank you! 

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear you had an amazing time and that everything, from the lodging to the outfitter, met your expectations. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed connecting with other like-minded women and sharing such a special experience together. Lauren will be thrilled to hear your kind words about her coordination — she truly works hard to make each trip memorable. We’re also glad you loved the southern meals and felt like part of the family with the outfitters! We can't wait to have you join us again next year, and we're so happy to hear that this trip has become such a meaningful tradition for you!

I had an amazing time on this trip. From the lodging to the outfitter, everything was top tier! Always love to meet new girls that have the same interests and have the opportunity to share a new experience with them. Our coordinator, Lauren, did an outstanding job by making sure each day was well-planned and organized. This was my second year attending this trip and I cannot wait to hopefully be back next year! I think this is a great trip for beginners at hunting or a first time Her Wilderness trip! The outfitters treat you like family in the woods and back at their lodge. Extra points for a delicious home-cooked, true southern meal!!
