Who We Are

Backcountry Squatters is a 501c3 Nonprofit with representative chapters at College Universities across the nation. We build a nationwide inclusive outdoor community by providing leadership, personal growth, and professional development opportunities for women and non-binary individuals. This is accomplished through chapters that offer events for community building, DEI education, and honing technical skills. 

What is the Squatters App?

This is a place for YOU to join your chapter and cultivate your community. You can see what other members are up to, plan events, search for carpool buddies, ask advice, DM someone that you met on the hike, get access to ProDeals, all in a streamlined easy to use Backcountry Squatters specific app!

CHAPTERS: Each chapter has its own group for members to communicate, plan events, have discussions, and MORE! These groups will be what you want them to be-take advantage of the community!
