Celebrate the season of renewal with a cozy weekend getaway at the River Otter cabin at Wolf Den Nature Retreat in Algonquin! From March 27–29, we’ll shake off winter, get outside, and reconnect with nature, yourself, and each other. Expect fresh air and a fresh start as spring unfolds.
This retreat is a back-to-basics experience designed for simplicity and connection.
Shared accommodations: Participants will be in double beds in a shared room or bunk beds.
Please come with an open mind, warm layers, and a sense of adventure. Comfort looks a little different in the winter woods.
An email will be sent to all participants the week prior to the event with full details of the retreat.
