FALL Women’s Outdoor Adventure Days 🥾

📍WHERE: Hiwassee Acres in calhoun, TN (50 minutes from chattanooga)

WHEN: choose from wednesday 10/22 or sunday 11/9

Join us for fall adventure days! This women's-only event will be full of nature, relaxation, and fun group activities. Our September event was a huge success, selling out in just hours with a long waitlist, so we decided to add more dates into fall! We're going to be doing a guided hike to a waterfall, a guided horse ride, kayaking on the Hiwassee River, and exploring the Hiwassee Acres property. Breakfast, coffee/drinks, and a full lunch is included!

This all-day event is ideal for women aged 21+ who love spending time outdoors, enjoy meeting like-minded women, and are open to new adventures. Last time we did this event we had women aged late 20’s to early 60’s.

Joining strangers on a group event may seem intimidating… we get it! Rest assured you’ll leave this event feeling refreshed, with new connections, and ready to embrace a new season. All you do is show up and we take care of the rest!
