Our 2023 Women’s Weekend is pampered camping with a purpose. This weekend retreat invites 120+ women from across the Northwest and beyond to slow down, indulge, decompress, and unwind. The weekend offers the perfect setting for a getaway with your girlfriends on the beautiful Coeur d’Alene lakefront at Camp Four Echoes. No dishes or planning, just relaxing and time to disconnect to reconnect. Try something new such as yoga on a paddleboard or Zumba; participate in Pilates, body sculpt, take a painting class; or just simply relax on the lodge deck with a glass of wine and a good book.

This signature fundraising event for Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho supports scholarships, camperships and leadership programs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the purpose of Women's Weekend?

This annual event, held on the weekend following Labor Day at Camp Four Echoes on 212 acre Windy Bay property on the beautiful shoreline of Lake Coeur d'Alene, is your opportunity to relax, unwind and have fun with your girlfriends, all while raising money to support scholarships, camperships, and leadership programs for Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho.

What are the accommodations like?

Stay in our rustic cabins just like our summer campers do! Most cabins sleep six and are non-electric. You are allowed to bring batteried bling items like, flashlights, flameless candles, or fairy lights to make your stay fun and enchanting. Bring what you need to create a cozy luxury experience, or enjoy the simplicity of just a warm sleeping bag and fluffy pillow!

Special sleeping arrangements are available upon request.

What should I wear/bring?

Early September can have wonderfully crisp cool mornings and warm evenings. Bring comfortable clothes that you can explore the surrounding wooded area or lounge around in, and remember you may be painting or crafting.  If the weather is good you may want to sun on the dock or enjoy a morning yoga class.

What if I have food allergies or restrictions?

Special dietary arrangements are available upon request. 

When will the final itinerary be available?

In July, registered guests will receive a complete listing of Women's Weekend activities to create their customized itinerary. While there is a fee associated with some activities, many are complimentary. 

CHECK OUT LAST YEAR'S FUN!
