Women's Getaways

For a quiet, or not-so-quiet women’s getaway in Ontario, Smoothwater’s wilderness lodge in Temagami is the place to retreat. Join several programs through the seasons. Or come to us with your own girlfriends and we’ll customize a women’s getaway just for you. Either way, our women’s getaways always include local and organic cuisine, canoeing, hiking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. And sometimes a little cooking, yoga or painting class. But also lots of rest, rejuvenation and laughs.

LOOKING & COOKING WITH WILD EDIBLES
May through September. Arrival Sundays or Wednesdays. Classes Monday and Thursday.
From $375 pp for 2 night/6 meal package, or $85 pp drop-in class.
Get your hands dirty in the Temagami forest in this workshop foraging for wild edibles and medicinals. Discover a variety of indigenous plants that each tell a story about Temagami -all delicious, natural and healthy for you to eat. Then follow chef Caryn Colman into her kitchen and learn how to turn them into a dish of real pleasure. Wild mushrooms, stinging nettle, day lilies, dandelion, milkweed, rose petals and cedar are all fair game when it comes to breads, appetizers and desserts.

YOGA, PADDLING, PAINTING, PILATES, COOKING RETREAT
July 12-16, 2010
from $675 per person
Nurture and refresh your body, mind and spirit with our lakeside yoga retreat set amidst pine forests, wild flowers, and lush gardens. Daily yoga is the focus, with additional instruction in pilates, canoeing, and cooking with wild edibles. A highlight includes a day hike in the old growth forest for a long, silent meditation. Swimming and saunas make this one of the most unique and enjoyable yoga retreats in Ontario.

MOTHER-DAUGHTER CANOE TRIP
August 19-24, 2010.
$652.50 pp with pre/post trip lodging, 3 night/4 day canoe trip, gear, food, instruction, guides.
This unique, guided canoe trip is designed for special pre-teen mother- daughter bonding. Learn paddling and camping skills and how to be a great s'mores chef. Swim in Temagami's clean waters, hike in our famous forests, and discover wilderness secrets. Watch your daughter explore and play, while she watches the girl in you do the same. Both of you will find inner strength, portaging a canoe and sleeping comfortably in a tent. Strengthen bonds that will warm you in the teenage years ahead.
