Wellness Weekend March 2-4
From YMCA Camp Orkila
Twice a year, a glorious event just for women takes place at YMCA Camp Orkila. Women’s Wellness Weekends offer participants the opportunity to renew, refresh, and try something new. The totally optional schedule includes fitness classes, adventure activities, crafts, massages, and other activities.
One may also choose to spend time knitting by the fire, walking on the beach, reading in a quiet space, or even napping! “To each her own” is the motto, and a respectful energy and camaraderie allow each woman to honor her needs. Delicious meals are served, and guests can stay overnight in a selection of accommodations. Local participants also have the option of coming Friday evening and just for the day on Saturday, for $58, including meals and activities (no overnight accommodations).
The next Women’s Wellness Weekend at Orkila will take place March 2-4. Some of the activities on the schedule include drawing, faux book boxes, jewelry making, yoga, Zumba, belly dance, hula hooping, Nia, kayaking, zipline, giant swing, archery, nutrition workshops, QiGong, and more. This is an alcohol-free and tobacco-free event.
While the fall event is for adult women only, the spring event is also open to chaperoned girls in tenth grade or older.
