Women's Outdoor Culture Camp 2026
The Rewilding — a four-day, intergenerational outdoor experience for women and girls of all ages rooted in the forests, waters, and traditions of the Appalachian Mountains.
This Is Not A Retreat
It is a return to skill, place, and belonging.
The Women’s Outdoor Culture Camp was created for women who want more than a weekend escape. It is for those who want to learn how to move through the outdoors with confidence, awareness, and respect — and to pass those skills on to the next generation.
Set in the northern Appalachian region of Pennsylvania, WOCC reflects the landscape we live in: hardwood forests, cold streams, uneven ground, and weather that requires adaptability. These are practical, real-world skills, taught in the environment where they are meant to be used. Women and daughters learn side by side. No pressure. No competition.
Just shared effort, problem-solving, and growth.
The C.O.R.E. Experience
Our C.O.R.E. framework guides everything we do at camp and ensures that learning goes deeper than instruction alone.
Challenge — step outside familiar patterns and learn new skills
Overcome — build resilience through hands-on problem solving
Renew — reconnect with land, intuition, and each other
Empower — leave with skills and confidence that last

The Founder
Rose Anna Moore
The Women’s Outdoor Culture Camp was founded by Rose Anna Moore, an outdoor educator, conservationist, and lifelong Appalachian.
Rose Anna grew up in the Pine Creek Valley at the base of Nessmuk Mountain, named for George Washington Sears
a place where hardwood forests, cold streams, and self-reliance shape how you move through the world.
Her connection to the outdoors was formed early through lived experience, not recreation trends.
In 2021, Rose Anna was a participant on Season 8 of the television series, Alone. Her purpose for doing the show was not recognition or spectacle, but to challenge herself and return home with a platform that could be used
to create access, opportunity, and education for others.
The experience reinforced what she believes at her core: survival is not about extremes or ego. It is about awareness,
preparation, adaptability, and responsibility — skills that matter far beyond the wilderness.
WOCC was created so women and girls could learn those skills together, grounded in respect for land, community, and lived experience. The camp reflects Rose Anna’s belief that strong women walk beside others, pass knowledge forward, and leave people more capable than they found them.
