My kids couldn't believe I was going on this trip "Mom what are you thinking? You don't even know these people" what I was thinking is this sounds like a blast, and it was!
I wouldn't have been able to keep up and do everything we did if we hadn't had the Virtual Training Plan and the calls - this made all the difference for me! Brillant and I felt comfortable and prepared when I arrived. Thank you! JoAnn
Sign me up for the next Retreat, I don't care where we're going The Smoky Mountian Retreat in 2021 changed my life. Knowing that I was going gave me something to train for, and I needed that push.
But, doing everything we did on the trip is what really changed me. I did hikes I wouldn't have tried on my own and guess what? I sailed through them and felt amazing. Add to that all the laughter, camaraderie, and just flat-out fun I want to be first in line for whatever is next!! ) Anne
