Gateway Community Shred and Stewardship Camps

While connecting the entirety of the Arizona Trail….

Gear Girls Coordinator Makenzie Mabery and GRO girl GRO Coordinator Jody Bartz worked closely with Angela Abel from the Tonto National Forest and Pine community partners to launch the FIRST Arizona Trail Gateway Community Girls’ Camp in May 2023!

Six middle school girls experienced mountain biking (many for the first time) and camped overnight (thank you Pine-Strawberry Fuel Reduction Program for letting us use the barn and surrounding space!). The girls tore down camp on Sunday morning and went out for a short ride to wrap up the weekend. Makenzie and Jody are committed to #moregirlsonbikes and #moregirlsontheAZT

Cheers! Stoked to get #moregirlsontheAZT
