Welcome to Wildside Retreats
Wildside Retreats is an Filipino woman-owned and operated retreat company dedicated towards empowering women to explore their wild side. Through rock climbing, yoga and outdoor adventures, we strive to create a welcoming environment that encourages friendship and skill-building for wild women of all levels.
Join us for our women’s rock climbing and adventure retreats!
Rock Climbing
Whether you are new to rock climbing or have years of experience, our retreats will allow you to view the world from great heights while cultivating relationships with like-minded women. You will be a force of nature as you climb through your doubts and fears towards a newly empowered version of yourself.
Wildside Retreats has partnered with Uprising Adventure Guides, a woman-owned guiding service established in 1999. AMGA certified female rock climbing guides will lead our day trips while providing all essential gear to ensure the utmost safety and care. Your experience on the rock will be customized to your individual skill level, ranging from beginner to the advanced climber.
Yoga & Meditation
Disconnect from your devices and set your intentions for guided yoga and meditation practices with our certified instructors.
Yoga and rock climbing have a symbiotic relationship that helps connect mind and body, increasing your overall self-awareness. Through this practice, you will find your center of gravity and improve your range of flexibility which can overall enhance your performance on the rock.
Camping
Basecamp will be hosted at an undisclosed campground in Joshua Tree, CA. Further information on amenities will be provided before the retreat. Please bring your own camping equipment if possible - van life, car campers, and overlanding rigs are welcome! Basic camping equipment, such tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping pads, can be provided at an additional cost.
Food & Snacks
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks will be provided during the entire retreat to ensure happy tummies all weekend long. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian food will be prepared by our camp leader.
Lady Crush Crew
Wildside Retreats is a partner of the Lady Crush Crew women’s rock climbing community. Their mission is to be involved in the climbing community by hosting meetups and events for women (cis/trans) and non-binary individuals, stewardship through local and national park clean ups, and fundraising to support non-profit organizations.
Lady Crush Crew has a team of 40+ ambassadors throughout 13 states who volunteer their time to host events at outdoor climbing areas and local gyms.
Join our Wildside x LCC collaboration retreats for a special climbing getaway, organized and led exclusively by the crew’s leaders and ambassadors.
Wild Women Testimonials
“Sabrina did such a good job planning and executing this event. The rock climbing guides were AMAZING. I'd trust my life to them any day. I really liked the climbing-focused learning: anchor building, rappelling, etc., was great to learn from experts. The accommodations blew me away and the food was so, so delicious.” — Megan
“I had an amazing time in Joshua Tree with Wildside Retreats and Uprising Adventure Guides, and a whole bunch of very impressive ladies! Truly an unforgettable experience and I cannot wait to go back again.” — Ellen
“I’ve been curious about using climbing to cross train for races and this was definitively the most kick ass way to try it out. Despite being one of the only inexperienced climbers in the group, everyone went out of their way to answer my questions, give me pointers, and cheer me on. I left with my tank filled to the brim, a ton of new bad ass friends, and a whole other hobby to dive into. So incredibly grateful for this.” — Kelly
“Awesome retreat!!! I absolutely LOVED the retreat. It was my first experience climbing outdoors and it could not have been better. I felt very safe, whereas the other two times I’ve climbed outside since, I felt much more anxious. Thank you for the awesome time.” — Hanna
“I have so much to share about my recent camping trip in California. This one is solely to serve appreciation to these special bad ass females in the trip. You all rock and it was such an inspiration to listen to your stories and journey in climbing. Thank you, Sabrina P., for hosting the perfect retreat where female climbers from all levels can openly explore their wild side! Thank you Uprising Adventure Guides for leading all our routes and teaching us the secrets in Joshua Tree! Thank you, Sabrina C., for capturing all of the moments in this trip!”
— Annie
Your wild side is calling.
