Women’s Wellness Weekends

Virginia State Parks offers Women’s Wellness Weekends and the next one is Oct. 15-17 with tickets going on sale June 1. The programs are designed for women looking to reduce stress, learn about nature and enjoy the great outdoors, according to the park system. Events are held at various parks across Virginia.

The next Women’s Wellness Weekend will be held at Bear Creek Lake State Park in Cumberland.  The weekends run for three days—arrival on Friday and checkout on Sunday—with a new optional check-in on Thursday. For those not interested in spending the night, there’s a commuter option that is cheaper. 

The Women’s Wellness mission, according to the site, is “to provide educational and recreational opportunities that empower and enlighten women to sustain a healthy lifestyle by nurturing the mind, body and spirit.
