Women's Wilderness Weekend still has openings for its autumn gathering Oct. 17 - 19, says Cherie Calabrese, acting president.

"I don't like to use the term "retreat,' says Cherie, "It's a rejuvenation weekend for women."

WWW is unlike Becoming An Outdoorswoman, a program stressing outdoor skills. WWW does offer skills training with such experts as Amanda Spears, a multi-year national archery champion, but attendance is strictly optional. "If you want to be alone, and sit and knit, that's OK," Cherie says.

WWW also offers a diverse program with craft classes, wine tasting, and for an extra fee, massage and reflexology.

The diversity of the program matches the diversity of women who attend, says Cherie. They include executives, home makers, medical professionals, women residing in shelters, and others. "We have active women as well as inactive women,"
Cherie says. "The classes are designed with the diversity of women in mind."

The fee to attend Women's Wilderness Weekend is $185. It includes tuition, use of all equipment, lodging and meals. Scholarship assistance is available through a grant the group recently received from REI, the national outfitting cooperative with a store in Cranston. More information is available online here or by calling Cherie Calabrese at (203) 284-0481.
