COORDINATOR: MACKENZIE THOMPSON
This spring, Her Wilderness is stepping into something new, something deeply meaningful. We’re inviting a small group of women to join us on our very first mission trip: a 7-day immersive experience in Belize, where we’ll walk in faith, serve with open hearts, and be part of something far bigger than ourselves. This journey is not about ticking places off a list. It’s about responding to a tug on your spirit, the one that says you’re ready to go deeper. We’ll come together as women of faith, ready to serve alongside a local church, listen to the needs of a community, and be transformed in the process.
What It Means to Serve
Mission work isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up. Open, willing, and ready to be used. When we serve, we reflect the heart of Jesus: humble, compassionate, and present. Whether we’re teaching children, supporting a women’s group, painting a wall, or simply listening, we’re helping build something that lasts long after we return home: relationships, encouragement, and hope. If you’ve ever felt that quiet nudge to do something that matters, this is your invitation. You don’t need a background in ministry. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to say yes.
Why Belize?
With its turquoise waters, palm-lined beaches, and vibrant Caribbean culture, Belize is as breathtaking as it is welcoming. But beyond the beauty, this small Central American nation also holds great need and a deep openness to partnership and faith. Belize is the only country in Central America where English is the official language, making it easy to build real, meaningful connections with the people we serve. April is one of the best times to visit: warm (but not stifling) temperatures, sunny skies, and dry conditions make it ideal for both ministry and exploration. Think mid-80s days, cool breezes, and tropical sunsets that will leave you in awe. Our trip is powered by a trusted partner with decades-long relationships in Belize. They’ll match us with a local church or ministry where our gifts will make the greatest impact and they’ll be with us every step of the way.

Who This Is For
This trip is for the woman who’s ready to do something that truly matters. Whether you’re coming with a friend, your daughter, or on your own, you’ll be welcomed just as you are. You don’t need ministry experience. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up with a heart to serve and a willingness to grow. We believe there’s something powerful about women gathering in faith, stepping into the unknown together, and using their gifts to make a lasting impact. This is not a retreat. It’s a calling. And we are so honored to walk into it with you.
Where We’ll Serve
Our ministry location in Belize will be selected based on the needs of our trusted local church partners. About 6–8 weeks before departure, we’ll be matched with a pastor and community that best fits our team’s strengths and mission. Wherever we go, we’ll serve in a way that empowers the church and leaves lasting support.
Safety & Support
Safety is a top priority. Our mission partner provides in-country staff who are trained, experienced, and with us 24/7. From secure transportation and lodging to emergency protocols and purified water, every detail is covered to ensure a peaceful, protected experience for our team.
Meals
Enjoy three delicious meals a day, freshly prepared and safe to eat, with a blend of Belizean flavors and familiar comforts. We’ll accommodate dietary restrictions as best we can, and we recommend bringing a few personal snacks if you have more specific needs.
Come With Us
This is a different kind of Her Wilderness experience, less about wild landscapes and more about wild faith. A week of humble service, genuine connection, and real transformation. Come with us to Belize. Let’s serve, grow, and walk boldly together.
WHY HER WILDERNESS?
Since 2019, Her Wilderness has been redefining the outdoor space for women. Our mission is to empower women through meaningful outdoor experiences, whether that’s hunting, fishing, hiking, or simply stepping into nature with confidence. Every trip we offer is designed to help you grow, connect, and feel truly alive. We know outdoor adventures can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to it. That’s why our trips are women-only, designed to be welcoming, safe, and encouraging. No judgment. No pressure. Just a group of like-minded women supporting each other as we explore new skills and discover new passions.
LODGING ACCOMMODATIONS
The lodging accommodations that are included in your trip are always tailored to women looking for a welcoming and spacious atmosphere to foster friendships! Our cozy accommodations offer ample room to relax and unwind, featuring large common areas where you can connect with fellow guests. When selecting a space, we prioritize spaces that create a serene escape, complemented by shared amenities that encourage camaraderie and comfort. You’ll find well-maintained shared bedrooms and bathrooms, ensuring a pleasant experience for everyone. Please note that during this trip, you may need to share a bed / bedroom with another participant. We appreciate your understanding as this helps foster a sense of camaraderie and community among all attendees. Feel free to socialize in the kitchen and living areas or enjoy the fresh air outside. Whether you’re joining us for a quick weekend getaway or an extended stay, we strive to choose an environment that nurtures a sense of community while providing all the comforts of home. Embrace the chance to make new friends and create lasting memories during this unique experience! Once you connect with your trip coordinator, they will share more specific details about your lodging accommodations.

FAQ’S AND POLICY
Yes, we know this part might seem a bit tedious, but it’s important! We kindly ask that everyone who registers for a trip visits the FAQs and Policy page on our website. If you sign up for a trip without reviewing this information, it’s your responsibility. There’s a wealth of valuable information there that could influence your decision. Please make sure to check out all the FAQs and Policies on our website before signing up for a trip with us. Thank you!
TRIP EXPECTATIONS + NO DRAMA POLICY
At Her Wilderness, our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and empowering outdoor experience for every woman who joins us. That said, outdoor adventures come with a level of unpredictability, especially when weather, wildlife, and group dynamics are involved. We ask all participants to bring a flexible mindset and a positive attitude. Weather conditions, guide recommendations, and other factors may require last-minute changes to activities, schedules, or game pursued (for example, switching from a duck hunt to a goose hunt if conditions call for it). These decisions are made with your safety and the quality of the experience in mind. If adaptability and going with the flow are not things you're comfortable with, we respectfully suggest reconsidering your participation in our trips.
What You Can Expect:
Outdoor conditions may change plans—including hunts, hikes, or water access.
You may share lodging with others.
Some locations may have limited facilities.
There is no guarantee of harvesting a specific species.
We do everything we can to deliver a great experience—no matter the challenge.
What We Expect:
A respectful, go-with-the-flow attitude.
Willingness to adapt to changes in schedule or activity.
Zero tolerance for drama, negativity, or behavior that impacts the group.
We maintain a strict no-drama policy. Any participant who brings negativity, disrupts the group dynamic, or disrespects staff or others will be asked to leave without a refund and will not be invited back to future events. We are here to build community, confidence, and lasting memories in the outdoors. Thank you for being part of that mission and for helping us keep our trips positive, welcoming, and fun for all!
