Notes from our Women's Wellness Campers

The setting, the staff, the feeling of community, inclusiveness, fun, variety of activities - I could go on and on! I love the Lair and this was my first women’s wellness - I will definitely come back and tell my friends! Thank you!!

It is a warm community, full of fun things to do for introverts and extroverts alike! Thanks for making this such a wonderful event.

D.S., 2026
A great way to experience the Sierra, meet wonderful people and do very fun things like ride horses, make mosaics, swim in the pool and enjoy fun evenings listening to speakers, playing disco bingo and dancing. A total blast!

B.H., 2026
loved the incredible enthusiasm of the the young staff who knew how to seemingly enjoy camp experience without modern distractions...these experiences will stay with them forever and shape their perspective over time. Thank you for providing that

J.L., 2026
I really respect and appreciate the growing diversity in the campers I've seen over the years -- whoever has been fostering this is doing an AMAZING job I think.
