About Us

Nearly a decade ago, Denise and Jennifer began taking customers on hiking and kayaking events around North East Kansas and Dirty Girl Adventures was born. 

 

In 2019, the two Dirty Girls purchased a property in NOTO, Topeka's Arts and Entertainment District, and Compass Point was created. 

 

Compass Point serves as a basecamp for all the events Denise and Jennifer dream up.  Compass Point is the place where people connect, learn and dream of adventure!   The events available from Dirty Girl Adventures have grown to include a retail gear shop, yoga, art classes, introductory classes on adventure gear and techniques, self-improvement experiences, international travel, Midwestern adventures, and local hiking, kayaking and camping adventures.  Denise and Jennifer both love live music and having Compass Point as basecamp has allowed Dirty Girl Adventures to begin offering live music events!  The women love to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for people to enjoy live music connect, and of course, dream up their next adventure!
