Customizable Itinerary

Perhaps the best thing about this retreat is that the women participating can choose exactly what they would like to do.

The Women’s Outdoor Retreat at Zion Ponderosa ensures that every participant gets to spend their time how they want to, not how everyone else wants to.

Each guest will take a survey before the retreat begins, which will allow coordinators to decide how to best serve the individual. How each women’s time is spent will depend on what they hope to achieve during the retreat. So, whether they’re looking to test their physical limits outdoors or spend some quiet time alone, every woman is empowered to make their own decisions, so they can have the perfect, individualized retreat.
