The Wild Way has some exciting new projects in the works. This is just a little teaser for some new developments we have coming in 2026 that will allow us to further deepen our impact as a confidence-building organization for girls

It’s hard to beat the view from Sharp Top mountain. These girls braved steep stairs and a formidable breeze for these vistas, and they all agreed that it was WORTH IT!

Thank you to Star City School of Ballet and their fabulous instructor Caitlin Smith for inviting some of our girls to their “Ballet for Athletes” class.

This past weekend, we held our annual Fall Camping trip next to the Jackson River in Covington. We demonstrated and practiced essential camping skills, like how to pitch a tent, build a fire, and even purify water from the river.

A thrilling afternoon at The Peaks Retreat & Adventure Center with the West End Center for Youth! It might be spooky season, but these girls aren’t afraid of a rock wall and zip-line.

It’s the most exciting weekend of the year - GO Fest in downtown Roanoke!

This past weekend, Wild Wayfarer Caroline Welfare planned and led a hike at Bottom Creek Gorge Preserve for this group of intrepid ladies.

The Wild Way kicked off our fall events with a trip to Explore Park’s Treetop Quest zip-line and high ropes course this past weekend.

The Wild Way is honored to be the featured nonprofit in Volume 2 of The Scout Guide Roanoke.

Summer 2025, you’ve been good to us. For our last day of summer camp, we took a few of Humble Hustle Co’s Pretty Humble girls out to Roaring Run.

Last night, we spent the evening exploring Carvin’s Cove’s mountain biking trails with Roanoke Star Cycling.

It rained today, but that doesn’t matter if you’re already in the water! We teamed up with Humble Hustle Co to take some of their Pretty Humble girls out to Fairy Stone State Park for a wet and wild day.

Our last Paddlesports Camp of the summer comes to an end.

Paddling the James River from Springwood to Buchanan. This was one of our BEST canoe days ever!

We’ve somehow remained on the weather’s good side and have been able to really enjoy these cooler days.

Another beautiful day to be on the river! We kayaked from Springwood to Buchanan and (as you can probably see) had lots of fun along the way.

Wha-SUP? We couldn’t have asked for a more GORGEOUS day to go paddleboarding at the cove.

We brought our West End Center for Youth girls to The Peaks Retreat & Adventure Center for some end-of-summer adventure

The Wild Way has three more action-packed weeks of camps and events before the school year starts, and we’re going to make the most of it.

The Wild Way is truly "Inspired by Nature" and we even have a book to show it.
