What is Women's Wellness Weekend?

Virginia State Parks offer Women’s Wellness Weekends for women looking to reduce stress, learn about nature and enjoy the great outdoors. Refresh and relax while enjoying a wonderful weekend in nature in the fellowship of other women.

Women’s Wellness Weekends give women a chance to get outside and take part in fun workshops about nature, programs that empower women to take better care of themselves. The sessions are interesting and all set in a state park environment. Programs vary by park because we draw on the locality's unique services and presenters. Outdoor sessions focus on activities available in Virginia State Parks… or in the backyard.

What to expect at Douthat in September

We are planning the fall event and will open registration in late summer. Please check back for details. Once registration is open, just call our reservations center, 800-933-7375, to confirm a spot. We'll then send you an email with a link to a website that allows you to choose activities and helps you prepare for the weekend.
