Women's Retreat at the Y Outdoor Centre
Reconnect with yourself, your community, and nature
Located at the scenic Y Outdoor Centre along the Ottawa River, the Women’s Retreat is for folks who want to explore and disconnect from their everyday life.
We encourage you to take what you need from this weekend, whether that means relaxing among the trees or diving head-first into the adventures that camp has to offer!
Our staff will be facilitating an assortment of camp activities, including a guided forest walk, kayaking, a floral arrangement workshop, and a yoga class. All activities are open and optional – you choose your adventure. Our staff are skilled programmers and are looking forward to hosting you and creating a welcoming atmosphere for all.
Meals will be provided for Saturday’s lunch and dinner, as well as Sunday’s breakfast and lunch. (Please let us know any dietary needs.)

Sleeping arrangements
Just like our overnight campers, Women's Retreat participants will be staying in our heated overnight cabins. Each cabin contains four rooms, with each room sleeping 2 participants for this event.
Washrooms and showers are located a short walk away from the cabins. Please be sure to bring bedding so that you can have a comfortable sleep during your stay. Camp will not be able to provide bedding. To ensure everyone is well-rested for weekend activities, quiet hours will begin at 10 p.m.
