The Next Women's Wellness Weekend

We are pleased to announce that we are taking reservations for the third Virginia State Parks Women's Wellness Weekend. This event will be held April 23-25, 2010 at Fairy Stone State Park, in Stuart, Virginia, just west of Martinsville.

Our first two Women's Wellness Weekends at Hungry Mother and Westmoreland state parkswere very successful. Each event focuses on presenters and programs appropriate to the geographic area so while the concept the same, each event is unique.

Fairy Stone State Park is in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and also one of the original six state parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and opened 73 years ago. The beautiful Fairy Stone Lake is the centerpiece of the picturesque park. Fairy Stone State Park is also home to the legendary fairy stone (so you can be sure a fairy stone hunt will be on the program schedule).
 
Our Women's Wellness Weekends are designed for women to get away from the stress of every day life and relax in nature. Sessions focus on ways to de-stress your life, be healthier, and how to appreciate and enjoy playing in nature.

Many women came to the first two events came with their friends or family members. Everyone left with new friends.

The program is $149 and lodging costs vary depending on how you share the cabin facilities at the park (cabins are $139 to $200 for the two nights). We are working with presenters now and as we lock the programs in, we will update the website on the specifics. In late March we will e-mail you a program selection sheet which you can send back to select your preference for each time slot.

To make a reservation, call our Reservation and Information Line at 800-933-7275.

If you want to see the fun everyone had at the first two events, you can check out the Virginia State Parks Women's Wellness Weekend Facebook Fan page (wow that's a mouth full). We hope this page will facilitate new friends from the weekend keeping in touch with one another. If you aren't on Facebook, you can check out the pictures we took on Flickr.

The Women's Wellness Weekend makes a great gift for a woman you love or a wonderful present to give yourself!
