Women’s Wilderness Weekend (FULL)
"Keep close to nature's heart...and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean."- John Muir
Want to spend a weekend learning camping and survival skills? Then Women’s Wilderness Weekend is for you! Enjoy a workshop taught by women with a passion of helping other women become their strongest, best selves, while providing solid instruction in wilderness enjoyment, travel, and outdoor skills.
Women’s Wilderness Weekend is open to women ages sixteen years of age and older. Participants under nineteen years of age must be accompanied by mother/guardian. Preregistration is required for this event. Space is limited to 25 participants with a cost of $125 per person. Non-refundable after March 25, 2022.
Participants will need to supply their own tent or sleeping hammock (please let us know if you don’t have these items and we may have one to lend), sleeping bag, flashlight, personal needs, drinks, and breakfast items. Participants may also make reservations for cabin/chalet/hotel lodging in the park; however, lodging cost is separate from the cost of the Women’s Wilderness Weekend ticket. Ticket pricing includes tent camping only.
