Description: Women's Camp 2026

Location: Pickwick Landing State Park

Join us Halloween weekend for a frightening good time! All activities will be recreational or nature based with a fun fall twist. Check out the tentative outline of each day below for more details!

We offer two pricing options for ladies who prefer to camp or those who plan to commute. For campers, please bring tents and all needed camping supplies. Our main campground is closed, but we're blocking off an area of the park to give you the opportunity to camp along the shoreline. There is a restroom near the camping location and we'll shuttle you to an area for showers.

All supplies for activities will be provided, but we recommend bringing a thick towel or yoga mat for Sunday's stretch out.
