How many activities are reasonable to accomplish in one day?

Most attendees are able to comfortably participate in two to four activities each day. This allows sufficient time in between activities to move from one location to the next, get water or food, change clothes, etc.

Is there time for me to get from one activity to the next if I schedule back-to-back?

Yes! We have allowed sufficient time with each activity so you can participate in activities that you schedule back-to-back.

Are there limits on any of the sessions?

For paddleboarding, mountain biking, kayaking, and rock climbing, each participant is initially limited to one session until all participants have had an opportunity to register and build their calendars. Once we reach that point, we will release any remaining paddleboarding, mountain biking, kayaking, and rock climbing sessions and allow for people to add more than one session to their calendar. All other activities and educational experiences are unlimited.

Why do you have a size limit for some of the sessions?

We have limited the size of some of the sessions to give you a boutique experience. The instructor/participant ratio has been carefully selected to provide you the best learning opportunity/experience possible.

Several of the sessions say they have limited capacity. If I add a session to my schedule, does this mean that I am guaranteed a place for that session?

Yes, if you can add a session to your schedule, you are confirmed. The scheduling platform will make it clear when the classes are filling (at 75% of capacity) and already full.

Can sessions be scheduled that overlap?

Please make sure the sessions you select do not overlap with each other. It’s important to only register for sessions you plan to attend so that the limited class size can be made available to as many as possible!

Am I able to change a session I have signed up for?

Yes! If you would like to change a session (that is still open and has space) and/or are not able to attend one of the sessions you signed up for, please cancel on the Sched app or come to the REI Outessa Summit headquarters tent (when you are at the REI Outessa Summit) and we will update for you.

Do I need to hit a “save” button after I have selected the sessions I want to participate in?

No. The sessions are automatically saved to your calendar on Sched after you select each one.

What options do I have with the schedule of sessions I have created?

When you are in your schedule on Sched, you can print it, email it to yourself or a friend, or download it. As we get closer to the event, you’ll be able to access it in an app on your phone.

Is general on-site camping available?

We love novices! That’s a big part of why Outessa was created; it’s meant to provide women with the opportunity to try new things and open the outdoors to them in new ways.

Will there be transportation provided to get to events, e.g., the rock climbing and kayaking at Silver Lake?

Yes, we will be providing shuttle service from Kirkwood Resort to/from any off-site activities. Those include rock climbing, paddleboarding, and kayaking.

What are lodging options?

Lodging options at Outessa are varied and include Forest Service campgrounds, the REI Signature Camps, resort accommodations, and area lodges, cabins, and B&B’s. Lodging is not included with the REI Outessa Summit registration and does need to be purchased or reserved separately. No lodging will be reserved for you and it is recommended that you book your lodging soon to get your first choice for the weekend. Several off-site locations are close, but you will need to provide your own transportation to the REI Outessa Summit each day.

How do I reserve a REI Signature Camp or at Camp Outessa?

Campsites are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis and are booked through the same link used to register for the event.

Is general on-site camping available?

General camping is available in Camp Outessa and is an additional purchase on top of the REI Outessa Summit registration (not available in all locations). You will be given your camping wristband at check-in in order to gain access to Camp Outessa. You are responsible for bringing all the camping supplies that you need. Provided is a camping space, bathrooms, showers, and potable water.

Are the bathrooms, showers and sinks portable or in a building?

All locations have both indoor and portable bathrooms and sinks. All showers used for camping will be in portable shower trailers.

Will camping passes be available to purchase on site?

Yes, as long as they haven’t sold out. Don’t assume they will be available.

Will assistance be provided to set up my tent?

Yes! If you decide to camp on your own, Big Agnes wants to help make the start of your camping experience even better by helping you set up your tent. Whether it’s your first time, third time, or even tenth, Big Agnes wants to lend you a hand, and of course it’s complimentary. Any tent, any brand. To sign up for the Big Agnes Concierge Tent Set Up, send an email to info@outessa.com and we’ll get you on the list!

What is the price for the REI Signature Camp?

The price for the REI Signature Camp is $500 for 2 people, so bring a friend and split the cost!

If I register for the REI Outessa as just myself, will you pair me with another participant for the 2 person camping?

When you purchase the “REI Signature Camp for 2” option, you will have the entire site that is set up for 2 people. It’s up to you if you choose to find a partner for the second half of the tent or not. If you would like, we can try to help pair you up with someone that is also traveling solo and looking to share a REI Signature Camp. We need permission from both, however, before we will work to make introductions.

What makes the REI Signature Camp different?

Tent Setup: Spacious and deluxe tents fully outfitted with cots, sleeping pads, floor coverings, lighting, and an assortment of REI’s most comfy camp furniture and fun extras.
Camp Host: Your camp will be set up when you arrive.
Bath Setup: Bathrooms and showers are available.
Gear: All the great gear you’d find in an REI store for you to experience firsthand, like Goal Zero lanterns & charging stations, ENO hammocks and much more
Sleeping bag not included, please bring your own

If I sign up for a REI Signature Camp, can I request a roommate if my gal pals are coming too or do I get assigned when I arrive?

If you choose the REI Signature Camp, you’ll have an amazing camp waiting for you just steps away from the REI Outessa Summit action. And booking the REI Signature Camp means that it’s all yours, whether you wish to share it with a friend or keep it all to yourself. It’s a very comfortable tent and camp set up for two, all you need to do is bring your personal items and a sleeping bag.

If I don't sign up for the signature camp experience, would I be expected to bring all my own equipment?

The REI Signature Camp is just one of many choices, although it is in a wonderful close location, is all-inclusive (except for the sleeping bag), is created using excellent gear, and even comes with a camp host! If you choose Camp Outessa, yes you would need to bring your own equipment. All lodging options are spelled out at this link: http://outessa.com/locations/
