Have you ever tried archery or mountain biking or fly fishing? Sometimes as women, we do not get a chance to try outdoor activities on our own, due to life taking us in a different direction. Well this weekend is for all those women who would love to gain confidence in striking out on their own in activities they may have tried before or not, but who would love to learn new skills to start lifelong hobbies.

Join us for Find Your Wild Women’s Weekend, a retreat designed to help you reconnect with nature, yourself and a community of like-minded women. There will be a weekend full of guided activities and time to just reconnect with nature on your own. Each activity, whether it is yoga, archery, mountain biking, fly fishing, fly tying, or hiking to name a few, will be led by an instructor who will answer your questions and allow you to try your hand at each activity. Their will be opportunities for solo reflection and group connection.

The weekend will begin Friday afternoon, with a chance to camp with your own equipment in a group camping area or share a cabin with bunk mates, also with your own equipment (cabins fully equipped other than linens, towels, and personal items). Lunches will be served from the Lakeview Event Center and suppers other than one will be on your own.

This weekend event is $225 per person if you are camping and $300/person if you staying in a cabin. Please note, we have limited number of cabin spots. These will be given out first come first serve. Once we are out of spots, everyone else will have to camp! Please call 276-781-7400 to register and more information will be sent to you closer to the day of the event. You will need to pay when registering, decide between a cabin (with roommates- twin size beds) or Creekside Group Camping area, and be prepared to give us your email, t-shirt size and phone number. Check out the Agenda attached. Come out and have a great time being with other women learning new skills or improving old ones.

Final reservations will be taken August 16, 2026. Gather your friends and get signed up before all the spaces are gone.

Find Your Wild Women’s Weekend is presented by Hungry Mother, Let’s Go Adventures, and Riverfeet Fly Fishing.
