S.A.G.E. (Serious About Girls’ Empowerment) Sisters is a program designed for middle school girls to be informed, safe, and confident in the wilderness. Lessons are taught by specialists on topics such as fire-building, mental health, and robotics. The program culminates in an overnight backpacking trip where the girls use the skills they’ve been learning. Second and third year participants take on the role of mentor as they continue the program. This is free and open to the public. A shuttle is provided from Grifton School.
