What is this weekend all about?:
A Leadership Retreat where 8-10 campers will be placed in cabin groups, led by a counsellor, where we will build on the leadership skills we’ve been working on throughout our programs through camp activities such as:
Campfires, Rock Climbing (wall) Kayaking, Archery, Hiking, Crafts, Large and Small Group Games, Swimming (Polar Bear Dips!! brrr!), Mini workshops
And much more…
Why do we feel Leadership Retreats are a GREAT experience?:
The overnight camping experiencing is like no other in that it allows for our campers to experience bonding and unity to a much deeper level than before! Being in a cabin group of 8-10 peers for an entire weekend where they will eat, sleep and play as one unit teaches our campers about the importance of acceptance, problem-solving, teamwork, compassion and sisterhood/brotherhood. The bonds created at camp are some of the strongest built friendships I know of and I’m VERY excited to create this experience for our girls! We can't wait to provide the space for our girls to simply BE and dive into a loving experience that only the unique camp experience can offer!

We will depart from camp in the Healthy Hearts, Healthy Minds bus at 4pm sharp in order to catch the 5:40 pm Ferry to Bowen Island (arriving to the terminal 30 mins before we set sail).

"Why are our Ladies Leadership Retreats a TRANSFORMATIVE Experience?:
Imagine stepping away from your daily routine of organizing everyone else's lives and finally having time just for YOU! Our overnight retreat experience is uniquely designed for women who usually put everyone else first. Here, you'll be the one being taken care of, sharing meals, stories, laughter, and creating meaningful connections in a peaceful setting away from the demands of everyday life.
This isn't just a getaway – it's a chance to rediscover yourself, build authentic friendships, and be part of a supportive sisterhood that understands the balance between being a caregiver (whether it's your own children or friends and family in general) and nurturing your own spirit. The bonds created at our retreats often become lifelong friendships, offering a support network that extends well beyond the weekend.

We will depart from camp in the Healthy Hearts, Healthy Minds bus at 4/5pm sharp to catch either the 5:45pm or 6:50pm Ferry to Bowen Island (arriving at the terminal 30 mins before we set sail).
