Adirondack Women... Forever Wild

“Wild places create strong women, and strong women protect wild places.”
—Sheila Delarm

Sheila is a New York State licensed guide based in the Adirondacks. A lifelong Adirondack resident, she is passionate about helping women connect with nature, build confidence outdoors, and discover the joy of adventure.

Her work centers on paddling, hiking, mentorship, and creating meaningful experiences that foster confidence, connection, and a deeper relationship with the natural world. She is especially passionate about creating opportunities for women and girls to connect with nature, one another, and their own inner strength.

Sheila is also the founder of Adirondack Women… Forever Wild, a growing community that celebrates the spirit, resilience, and stories of women connected to the Adirondacks. Through shared adventures, conversations, and community, she hopes to inspire women to live boldly, care deeply for wild places, and support the next generation of wild-hearted women.

Whether leading a paddle, guiding a hike, or gathering women around a campfire, Sheila’s goal is simple: to help women reconnect with themselves, one another, and the wild places that have the power to change us.
