United States·May 9 - 12 2024
A multisport retreat weekend in beautiful Bend, OR created by women for women, where you create a custom schedule of fun and adventure.
ENQUIREAdventure is out there waiting for all of us, and yet there are barriers that keep us from having the opportunity to experience it. We seek to change that — on so many levels. Having access to the outdoors in an environment where you feel safe, empowered, seen, and celebrated is a game-changer, especially for those of us who may have felt uncomfortable, unprepared, or unwelcome in the outdoors. To build confidence, we have made it our mission to prioritize learning outdoors skills on our retreats. We embrace nature as our classroom, leading with compassion. To build a safe environment, we focus on providing affirming and supportive spaces for women to learn and explore in the outdoors, and create experiences that encourage fun, laughter and friendship. To build community, we welcome women of all ages, race, size, background, and experience levels, and welcome participants of all gender identities and expressions who feel that a women’s retreat is the right space for them. Our Escape weekend takes us to Bend, OR over Mother's Day Weekend where we’ll say goodbye to winter and welcome Spring with weather just right for hiking, biking, climbing and more. Warm days and cool nights will provide the perfect opportunity to explore and enjoy a town famous for its recreation opportunities and beauty. There is a good reason Bend has been dubbed the outdoor playground of the West, and we are excited for you to experience it for yourself.

Bend, situated on the sunny side of Oregon, offers a year-round playground brimming with opportunity!

Our unique location puts you right on the connector trails to the popular “Phil’s Trail” for mountain biking or just strolling along the river. Whatever your activity of choice – rock climb, river raft, ski, bike, paddle – Bend has it all! Learn more about LOGE.

Please keep in mind that we have created this schedule a year in advance of the event and some changes may be necessary prior the Escape. Don't worry fu some classes show as full - we like to keep the classes small but we can often add spots to classes as needed. If you are interested in winter activities we highly recommend joining us at our Winter Escape!

To ensure your experience is unforgettable much of our planning is finalized in the months leading up to your trip. Scheduling of guides, permits, class locations, food planning, goodie bags, and all the little things that make our events great get finalized manually. Cancellations within the 60-day window incur 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.
We strongly recommend purchasing Cancel For Any Reason coverage as part of your travel insurance policy.
Currently we have no specific COVID protocols in place. However, the pandemic continues to be a dynamic situation that is evolving, as such we reserve the right to change our policies as new information becomes available. Additional details can be found here.
