Jennifer Williams is a community-minded and forward-thinking educator and facilitator who is committed to helping people uncover passions, build confidence, and explore what it means to be human. After spending four pivotal years teaching high school aboard a tall ship, followed by an additional five years managing educational programs for ship-based youth expeditions to the Polar regions, Jennifer has devoted herself to community and outdoor education.
She firmly believes that learning in community in nature-based spaces provides pathways to self-discovery, interpersonal understanding, and a profound connection to the world at large. Now grounded on land (at least most of the time), Jennifer focuses on designing and hosting transformative learning experiences for both youth and adults.
Since 2022, one of her key projects has been the development of Camp WILD, a summer-camp style wellness retreat for women centered around the principles of Wonder, Ignite, Let Go, and Discover. Camp WILD is a space for women to rejuvenate, reconnect, and rediscover themselves through the power of play and community. When not working you can often find Jennifer floating in her unicorn, Peggy, outside playing in the woods, or at home baking or making soap.
About Camp WILD
Our story began in 2019, with the all too common story of burnout. Part of the burnout self-care plan for Camp WILD founder Jenn was attending a women’s camp in Portland, Oregon, which ultimately led to the birth of this WILD community. After returning home rejuvenated and inspired, Jenn kept asking herself, what becomes possible when a group of badass women gather in the woods, play and experience the power of community? Following the pandemic this question became riper than ever and in 2022 it officially began.
