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

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