Frequently Asked Questions

We welcome participants of all gender identities and expressions who feel that a women’s retreat is the right space for them. We welcome women of all ages, race, size, background, and experience levels. We do ask that participants be 18 or older.

Attendees should be comfortable carrying a daypack and being on their feet for extended periods of time. Mountain bike classes require that you already know how to ride a bike. When the schedule for the weekend is announced descriptions will provide additional information on skills needed and level of difficulty.

Accessibility accommodations may change depending on venue. Currently we do not provide sign language, deaf accommodations, and/or vision impairment accommodations. Meals take into account gluten free and vegetarian diets, but not vegan.

Anyone who feels that a women’s retreat is a welcoming space for them is invited to attend, regardless of gender identity or expression.

Attendees are able to customize their schedules based on a variety of classes being offered. All activities are challenge by choice and attendees can choose to not participate in any activity. Ability to switch to a different class is not guaranteed. Attendees can always choose to just relax and enjoy the location.

We currently do not  have any scholarships, but are looking into partnerships that could make this possible.

Getting outdoors and human connection is essential for our physical and mental health. COVID is not going away anytime soon, but the good news is that we understand it better now than we did 6 months ago and will continue to learn more as we move forward. 

Our decision to move forward with 2021 planning is not in any way minimizing the seriousness of COVID. In fact, being that our founder has asthma, we take the risks incredibly seriously which is why we have created modifications & added COVID protocols to our 2021 event operational plans. Your safety is our #1 priority and therefore we will be following state and federal guidelines and those required by any of our guide partners

Please read our COVID protocols here on our FAQ page prior to registering as all attendees will be expected to follow the posted COVID protocols. PLEASE NOTE: These guidelines may change as the events get closer and guidelines change.

To ensure your Escape experience is unforgettable much of our planning is finalized in the months leading up to your Escape weekend. Scheduling of guides, permits, class locations, food planning, goodie bags and all the little things that make of our events great get finalized manually. Cancellations within this window occur costs that we cannot recoup. Last minute cancellations within 30 days are even harder as we often cannot fill the vacated spot on short notice. Our cancellation policy ensures the best possible experience for everyone.

Please note: If you have booked an Escape that is cancelled due to Force Majeure (including the COVID-19 pandemic) you will receive a full 100% credit to use towards an alternative event with the same value with a date in the current or next calendar year. This travel credit will be automatically applied to your reservation. No financial refunds will be issued for any reason. 

We strongly recommend purchasing trip protection.
