Girls* on Rock (GOR) is a free, 12-day wilderness science program for high school girls* (ages 16–17) that combines art, rock climbing, and field science in the Rocky Mountains. Led by professional female scientists, artists, and guides, the program fosters confidence and connection through hands-on learning in alpine environments. We prioritize collaboration and diversity, selecting participants based on potential—not grades or achievements.

Girls* includes cisgender girls, transgender youth, nonbinary, agender, Two Spirit, intersex, genderqueer youth, and allies.
