Retreat into the wild. Return to yourself.
Outdoor adventure, yoga, and wellness retreats for women seeking connection, movement, nature, and transformation.
Welcome to Wildside Retreats
Wildside Retreats creates outdoor adventure experiences for women to reconnect with their wild through movement, nature, and community.
Our retreats are designed to build confidence, foster connection, and create a deep sense of belonging — whether you’re brand new to the outdoors or already feel at home in it.
Come step into nature, move your body, and reconnect with yourself alongside a community of wild-hearted women.
Guided Outdoor Adventure
Rock climbing is at the heart of our experiences and offers an opportunity to challenge yourself, build trust in your body, and connect with nature in a powerful new way.
All levels are welcome, from complete beginners to seasoned climbers. Each day is designed to meet you where you are with supportive coaching tailored to your comfort and skill level.
All climbing is led by AMGA-certified guides who prioritize safety, support, and encouragement. Gear is fully provided so you can simply show up and stay present.
Yoga & Wellness
Step away from the noise and return to presence through guided yoga and wellness sessions led by certified instructors.
Thoughtfully designed to complement your time in nature, these practices support a deeper mind-body connection while building strength, mobility, and awareness.
Accommodations
Accommodations vary by retreat and include either boutique hotel stays or camping outdoors, depending on the location and experience.
All of our retreats are all-inclusive, so everything is taken care of for you — from where you’ll stay to what you need to bring — allowing you to simply arrive and settle in.
Full trip details are shared in advance so you can feel prepared, supported, and at ease.
Meals & Nourishment
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included on full retreat days to keep you nourished and supported throughout your experience.
You can expect a variety of thoughtfully prepared meals, with vegan and vegetarian options available.
Depending on the location, dining is thoughtfully curated through local restaurants, private chefs, or catering partners.
Lady Crush Crew
Wildside Retreats is rooted in Lady Crush Crew, a women’s rock climbing community founded in 2018 to foster connection through climbing.
What began as free, grassroots meetups at local gyms and outdoor climbing areas has grown into a supportive community of women coming together to climb, learn, and explore over the past 8 years and counting.
The Wildside team is made up of Lady Crush Crew ambassadors, the same community leaders who have helped build and host these gatherings from the beginning.
Wildside is an extension of that community and brings its spirit into curated retreat experiences centered on connection, adventure, and time in nature.
Voices From the Retreat
“Sabrina did such a good job planning and executing this event. The rock climbing guides were AMAZING. I'd trust my life to them any day. I really liked the climbing-focused learning: anchor building, rappelling, etc., was great to learn from experts. The accommodations blew me away and the food was so, so delicious.” — Megan
“I had an amazing time in Joshua Tree with Wildside Retreats and Uprising Adventure Guides, and a whole bunch of very impressive ladies! Truly an unforgettable experience and I cannot wait to go back again.” — Ellen
“I’ve been curious about using climbing to cross train for races and this was definitively the most kick ass way to try it out. Despite being one of the only inexperienced climbers in the group, everyone went out of their way to answer my questions, give me pointers, and cheer me on. I left with my tank filled to the brim, a ton of new bad ass friends, and a whole other hobby to dive into. So incredibly grateful for this.” — Kelly
“Awesome retreat!!! I absolutely LOVED the retreat. It was my first experience climbing outdoors and it could not have been better. I felt very safe, whereas the other two times I’ve climbed outside since, I felt much more anxious. Thank you for the awesome time.” — Hanna
“I have so much to share about my recent camping trip in California. This one is solely to serve appreciation to these special bad ass females in the trip. You all rock and it was such an inspiration to listen to your stories and journey in climbing. Thank you, Sabrina P., for hosting the perfect retreat where female climbers from all levels can openly explore their wild side! Thank you Uprising Adventure Guides for leading all our routes and teaching us the secrets in Joshua Tree! Thank you, Sabrina C., for capturing all of the moments in this trip!”
— Annie
