Camping Women
Camping Women came into being in 1977 as a nonprofit,
educational and service organization for women 18 and over. The two
founders, who had many years of experience in Girl Scout camping, knew
how Scouting had helped girls and adults learn about and enjoy the out-of-doors,
and wished for a similar organization for adult women. This wish has
evolved into a volunteer organization with a national board of directors,
local chapters, national and chapter camping events, service projects
and the participation of over 2000 interested members in the last 24
years.
It is important for women who want to go camping to feel safe in the
out-of-doors with other women as companions. Camping Women recognizes
this need and has provided camping opportunities for women to join together
to develop their unique potential, to learn new skills, to develop confidence
and self-assurance, and to live in harmony with the environment. A goal
of this program is to provide opportunities for women to learn skills
and to be exposed to equipment and events that expand their horizons
of camping experiences.
We camp in tents, RVs, cabins, and out in the open. We share with one
another our knowledge of: camping skills, music and singing, cooking
methods, camping gear and shelters, nature identification, and our love
of the out-of-doors. Most of all, we have fun!

Women Take Back the Night: is an international tradition with marches
and rallies occurring around the world since 1976. That year, in Belgium,
women attending the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women
marched together in solidarity, holding candles to protest the ways
in which violence permeates the lives of women worldwide.
Women Take Back the Night rallies have been held annually in Sacramento
since 1980 (or 1979?), which organizers believe may be a record unmatched
elsewhere in the United States. The event is organized totally by
volunteers, with active participation from many community based organizations
in the community.
The highlight of Take Back the Night is the march when women walk
through the night and reclaim the streets, which for many years have
been sources of fear and violence. Another important aspect of Take
Back the Night is the survivor testimonials. This serves as a safe
place for survivors of sexual violence to come forward with testimonials,
often sharing their experiences for the first time. The Sacramento
event also provides a special program for children and an opportunity
for men to come together at one point in the evening to share ways
for men to help end violence against women.
Sister events are held locally on different dates in Davis and at
California State University, Sacramento.
The Northern California Association for Women Take Back the Night
is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization. Contributions to the organization
are tax deductible.
