Donate to Wildnerness Inspirations

Gifts to Wilderness Inspirations currently support our core program, Girls Empowered at Mountain Shepherd.

For more information about GEMS, visit allgirlsaregems.com

GEMS are Girls Empowered through exploration of seven survival priorities: positive mental attitude, wilderness first aid, shelter, fire, signaling, water, and food. During a five-day overnight experience, GEMS learn the practical skills associated with each priority. Girls also discover the parallels between each survival priority and their lives in the “front country.” GEMS gain an appreciation for their natural and social surroundings through fun — and deceptively educational — activities such as night hikes, team-building games, and biodiversity studies. After five days, GEMS leave with confidence and compassion, knowing more about themselves and how they interpret and interact with their world.

Our team believes all girls have the potential to become GEMS, and all donations have the potential to create an inspiring experience! For more information about the impact of your gift, see below for parallels between the seven survival priorities and gifts to GEMS.
