2022 Girls on the Trail
Girls on the Trail is a collaboration between Whitefish Legacy Partners and community partners to bring teenage girls ages 12-15 out on the Whitefish Trail for a week of mountain biking, hiking, photography, writing, volunteer events. The program provides teenage girls in the Flathead Valley an opportunity to find their own love of mountain biking, their own appreciation of trails and open lands, their own creativity through writing and photography, and their own strength through hard work and mentorship. Girls on the Trail began in 2018 in memory of Katy Branston and her passion for biking, trails and community.

NEW THIS YEAR:
While Girls on the Trail has been free in the past, beginning this year there will be a $60 registration fee in order to help ensure that those who have registered, and taken one of the limited spots, show up.
     - Scholarships are available! If the registration fee is a barrier for you or your family, please contact margosia@whitefishlegacy.org to request a partial or full scholarship.
     - If you need to cancel, refunds for the registration fee will be available until June 11. After that, cancelled registrations will not be refunded.

DATES:
JULY 11-14 12pm to 5pm **2022 GIRLS ON THE TRAIL IS FULL, YOU CAN STILL REGISTER FOR THE WAITLIST**
Drop-off and pick-up will be at several Whitefish Trail trailheads.  We plan to keep them as close to town as possible. Participants are asked to attend all four days.
 
PROGRAMS:
Mountain Biking - During a mountain biking clinic and group ride, led by certified youth instructors, the girls will learn mountain biking fundamentals through skill-building exercises and practice those skills riding the trail.  Participants must know how to ride a bike, but all mountain biking experience levels are welcome. Free bike rentals are available if needed.

Hiking - Hitting the trail for a hike, the girls will explore the cedar groves and wildflowers of Haskill Basin, while getting to know each other and talking about community, resiliency, and the strength that time spent outdoors cultivates.

Yoga - Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest, the girls will connect to their breath and practice beginner yoga with instruction from a certified yoga teacher.

Trail Work - Spending the afternoon swinging a Pulaski or using a saw on the Whitefish Trail will create a unique opportunity for the girls to build confidence using tools, believe in their ability to complete any task set before them, work as a team, and feel satisfaction from work well done and giving back to our community trail.

Photography -The girls will explore the landscapes around the Whitefish Trail through the lens of a camera, learning photography fundamentals from professional photographers.
Cameras are available if needed.
