Women's Adventure Weekend
September 12-14, 2003
YMCA Camp Gorham in the Adirondacks

Take a weekend away from your everyday stresses. Preferred Care has joined with YMCA of Greater Rochester to offer the Women’s Adventure Weekend, especially for those who want a chance to unwind and experience the Adirondacks in all their early fall splendor.

Take a yoga class. Sample some wonderful wines and dine on delicious, healthy food prepared just for you. Learn to cook healthy. Experience an early morning canoe trip...or refreshing hike. And that’s not all.

There are plenty of activities to keep you active and feeling rewarded. While you’re there, you’ll have the opportunity to go rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, play tennis, mountain bike the wooded trails, hike up one of the majestic mountains. Do whatever you like - it’s your choice.

Program participants will stay in Camp Gorham’s beautiful, Adirondack-style cabins near the waterfront. All cabins are heated and have bathrooms with showers, fireplaces, a porch and kitchenette.

Participants will share cabins, 4 per cabin, 2 per room
Friends will be housed together by request (if space is available). But act quickly: space is limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Your meals will not be typical camp food. You may choose a low-fat dining experience! Vegetarian options will be available for those who request them. (Please inform us of any food allergies or restrictions.)

Massage Therapy will be available for an additional fee*. For your health, Camp Gorham is a non-smoking facility.
