Vermont Business Magazine Vermont Outdoors Woman is sponsoring an outdoor education retreat for adventurous women 18 years and older in Canaan, Vermont on September 14-16, 2018. Fall Doe Camp will offer three days of classes to be held in the woods, in the lodge, on the lake and on the sandy beach as foliage season begins in the Northeast Kingdom of VT.
Doe Camp will be returning to Jackson's Lodge & Log Cabins, a 59 year family tradition providing heated lakefront cabins on beautiful Lake Wallace. Located in Vermont's moose country, Jackson's Cafe is a local favorite for homemade breakfast and baked goods (including gluten free).
The lakeside log cabins at Jackson’s Lodge have been a favorite destination of savvy vacationers for decades. The rustic cabins include all the modern necessities you’ll need during your weekend retreat. For the more hardy campers, bring your tent and save $140 by camping out. For novices, we'll have camping specialists available for instruction and assistance throughout the weekend.
The retreat offers 4 sessions with over 30 classes to choose from. Classes are taught by our all volunteer, experienced and professional instructors. Campers can choose from a list of popular classes that include: Archery, Birding, Basket Weaving, Firearms Marksmanship & Safety (Muzzleloader, Handgun, Rifle and Clay Shooting), Paddle Sports, Gourmet Outdoor Cooking, Health and Fitness, Log Rolling, Cheese Making at Home, Fly Fishing, Camping Classes, ID Ferns, Trees & Wild Edibles, Nature Photography, and Panning for Gold.
Newer classes include: Advanced Shotgun, Coping With Critters While Camping (bears, raccoons, blackflies, ticks, etc), Chainsaw Skills & Safety, Land Mobility Skills, Self Defense, Introduction to Remote First Aid, Crochet, Intermediate Photography, Alone in the Woods and more. Early morning (before breakfast) options include yoga, birding or a morning run and swim.
Between classes there will be ample free time to explore or just relax on the sandy beach or the cabin porch. Kayaks are available on site or you can bring your own gear. The evening campfires are always popular for socializing. A large raffle will be held on Sunday after lunch with thousands of dollars worth of items going to the lucky winners.
Don't miss the opportunity to receive affordable outdoor education in a stress-free, supportive environment. Cost for the weekend program is $390. Discounts are available for daily drive-ins, camping out, mother/daughter teams, and girlfriend groups of three or more. Visit our website for more information: www.outdoorswoman.org/fall-
