WILD, WILD WEST MONTANA RETREAT!

June 8-12, 2025

 

 

Giddy Up!

 

Mountain air, epic views, always-warm hot springs, pretending we're on the Oregon trail because we're sleeping in covered wagons! What more could a girl want?!

No dysentery please! Thanks!

Join us June 8-12 for five days focused on wellness, cowgirl badassery, rucking, wellness, and more yee-haw magic in Pray, Montana. We'll be staying at Chico Resort and Spa packed with goodies that will keep us curious, fed, and having fun together!

Toughness Level: 3/5

(3/5 means there will be opportunities to do hard work defined by what's hard for YOU and new opportunities outside your comfort zone. This score means you should have familiarity with rucking and strength training to not feel overwhelmed. All workouts and challenges will be tailored to suit every fitness level.)

CHICO IS SOLD OUT!

These retreats are popular! Gotta be quick! We hope to see you at another upcoming event. Check them out by clicking the button below.

Let's go!

Lodgings

 

At Chico Resort and Spa, it's like taking a step into a simple time before technology, plane travel, and hustle culture. Exactly what we all need! That slow way of life for a while.

No private rooms here. We're in our slumber party era! What's more fun than swapping stories and bonding with new sisters in one of the most unique camp set ups ever? We'll be bunking up 4 women to a covered wagon.

Bathrooms and showers are shared in a building not too far away.
