We’re excited to announce that we are hosting our 2025 Wellness and Waterfalls weekend!
Wellness and Waterfalls weekend is a fun and exciting space for a much-needed breath of fresh air in the outdoors. This campout/glampout weekend is all about having a great time, relaxing, and fostering sisterhood with other Outdoorsy Black Women.
“Wellness and Waterfalls” allows both first-time and seasoned campers to learn from each other, connect with other Outdoorsy Black Women, and create deeper connections with their inner outdoorswoman.
What is Wellness and Waterfalls Weekend?
Wellnes and Waterfalls Weekend is an all inclusive, outdoor retreat experience that offers a variety of accommodations based on guests’ comfort levels, from “Do-it-Yourself” tent camping, to more comfortable Cabin or “Glamping” options with all necessary gear provided and ready for you upon arrival. This 4-day, 3-night retreat will cultivate community, ignite friendships, and provide a safe space for Outdoorsy Black Women to soak in the serenity of all Mother Nature has to offer. This event will be held, rain or shine.
Also, we know it’s Mother’s Day weekend! You’re welcome to come with your daughter/mom or without, lol. Don’t worry, the event will be over in time to spend time with family on that Sunday if you choose to, lol.
Wellness and Waterfalls is the perfect girl’s trip and opportunity to make new friends. Join us for this amazing weekend to remember!
