“Strength” is a relative term. Your mindset is the most powerful tool. You do not have to be the strongest, baddest, fastest person and at your absolute best to do this. Anyone can do it and it won't be physically demanding.

A few ideas would be swimming, fishing, hiking, volleyball, fire, socializing, camp games, etc. There is a hot springs 1 hour away. We also have some hiking workshops

A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot. If for any reason there is an emergency or someone cannot make a retreat, your deposit can be applied to a future retreat, but this must be arranged with Tana.

It costs a lot to secure instructors and buy supplies for each workshop so we need ample time to know our numbers 1 month before everyone arrives.

The full payment is due no later than May 1, the month previous to the retreat. This can be paid throughout the year in installments, or all at once. Reach out to Tana if you need to set up payments.

Yes, we will, Just let us know beforehand so we can plan your meals, and we will also have a paramedic and wilderness first responder on staff all week
