You've googled "what do I do in a disaster" at 11pm from your bed. You've added a first aid kit to your cart and never checked it out. You've said "I really should learn that" approximately forty-seven times.
Babe. This is your sign.
She'll Be Right is a two-day wilderness survival camp for women who are done waiting to feel prepared. We're not here to scare you into stockpiling or bore you into submission with a PowerPoint. We're here to get your hands dirty, your confidence dialled, and send you home with skills that actually stick.
Think survival skills… minus the misery, with a bit of "she'll be right" swagger. Female-led, hands-on, and built around fun — a little grit, lots of laughter, and yes, there will be bubbles.
Limited spots. Come get quietly dangerous.

"On 13 February 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle tore through the North Island. I was out that night with my volunteer fire brigade. We lost two firefighters.
It changed me.
I threw myself into learning emergency preparedness. First aid. Fire. Navigation. Foraging. Hunting. Survival psychology. The practical skills that help you stay calm when life goes sideways.
Because here's the reality: disasters are happening more and more in New Zealand. Yet most women have never been taught what to do when they do.
So I built the school I wished existed.
Practical skills. Quiet confidence. No ego. No mansplaining."
— Zoë McIntosh, Founder

What You'll Actually Learn
The Instructors
Filmmaker by trade, volunteer firefighter by choice, and founder of She'll Be Right. Zoë brings in a rotating line-up of fellow instructors for every camp — specialists in first aid, navigation, and bush skills — so no two intakes look quite the same, but every workshop is built and led by people who've actually done what they're teaching. None of us claim to know everything — we're still learning too.
Still thinking about it? Your future, more capable self is already rolling her eyes.
