The First Ruck + Wellness Retreat for Women
Established in 2024 - we bring together badass women for adventure, fun, connection + wellness experiences!
This year, join us in gorgeous Washington State at Skamania Lodge April 17 - 20, 2026 where we'll partake in numerous outdoor adventures like a ropes course among the trees, zip line, sand and body weight workouts, rucking and walking their miles and miles of trails on-site. We'll have plenty of time to relax and recover with trips to the hot tub and pool, mobility sessions, or a massage from their spa! Let's not forget 2 meals included with plenty of meal options for refueling from their seasonal menus.
I was really excited and nervous to attend as I've attended many GORUCK events in the past but nothing curated just for women! It was awesome! I learned so much and loved the workouts PLUS the workshops and down time to get to know the other women! I've walked away with more rucking sisters!
JoAnne created such a grounded and safe space during her tapping presentation and yoga session. Her intentional guidance helped me release tension I didn’t even realize I was holding. I learned how powerful it can be to pause, tune into my body, and use breath and touch as tools for healing and self-connection.
What made this gathering stand out was the genuine sense of connection and shared purpose. Unlike other rucks I’ve attended, this felt less like an event and more like a community—where every woman showed up not only for herself, but for each other. The balance of physical challenge, open conversation, and emotional support was truly unique.
"Skamania offers an unparalleled Pacific Northwest experience that captivates and inspires. Set against one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes and nestled among lush, towering evergreens, it awakens the senses at every turn. Here, nature and adventure seamlessly intertwine with holistic wellness, relaxation, and retreat, creating a destination where you see the world from a new perspective."

FAQ
What is the refund and cancellation policy?
We Get It—Life Happens!
We’ve designed our cancellation policy to be as flexible and understanding as possible because we know the unexpected can happen. At the same time, it helps protect the passion, effort, and dedication we pour into creating these unforgettable experiences.
Here’s how it works:
✅ Cancel within 60 days of paying your deposit: Full refund (minus processing fees)
✅ Cancel after 60 days of paying your deposit: 50% refund
❌ Cancel within 30 days of your retreat: No refunds, no exceptions
But here’s some good news! Retreat bookings are transferable. If you find someone who wants to take your spot, they’re welcome to join—just be sure to make the switch at least two weeks before the retreat and let us know.
We know no one signs up for an adventure expecting to cancel, but last-minute changes take a big toll on our time, energy, and resources. As much as we’d love to be flexible, we simply can’t make exceptions—for any reason, including weather, illness, or personal emergencies.
That’s why we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance—it’s a game-changer! Travel insurance can help cover your unexpected cancellations, medical emergencies, flights, lost luggage, and more.

We’re here to make your experience as amazing as possible—so plan ahead, protect your investment, and get ready for an incredible adventure! 🌍✨
