Forest Lodge Women’s and Nonbinary Weekend Retreat
Friday, March 24 – Sunday, March 26
4:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Forest Lodge Educational Campus, 22230 Garmisch Road, Cable, WI, 54821, United States

Enjoy a winter getaway to Northland’s favorite lodge on Lake Namekagon. Stay cozy inside with crafts and writing, or walkabout the forest wonderland on snowshoes. We’re partnering with the Hulings Rice Food Center to cater delicious, made-from-scratch meals to add to the quintessential lodge retreat experience.
This event is open to current Northland College students, faculty, and staff.
The full cost of facilitating this SOEI weekend trip ($375.00/person) has been largely offset by a generous grant from the Endeavor Foundation. What’s more, to meet our goal of ensuring equitable access to our experiences, students may choose from three price-point options.
There will be a pre-trip meeting in the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute on Tuesday, March 21, at 6 p.m. This outing will depart from the SOEI at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 24, and return at 5:30 p.m. on March, March 26.
Registration has closed. We hope you can join us on a future outing!
