CampExperience Amazing Women Luxury Retreat

The September 17-19, 2008, CampExperience is the third-annual, one-of-a-kind retreat designed exclusively for women ready for education, inspiration and transformation. Here you’ll refine your vision, reflect on your purpose, learn some new stuff and relax in a magical setting.

CampExperience gives you 2.5 amazing days to savor fresh insights, create new friendships, connect with like-minded peers, and build alliances that will help you get to where you want to be.  And thanks to its unique structure of dynamic Keynote presentations, workshop “tracks” like Leadership, Success Skills, Creative Thinking, Optimum Health, Personal Services and Excellent Adventures, every “Camper” can expect at least one vivid new experience or breakthrough insight that will uplift and enhance their life.

 

You’ve waited long enough. And now you’re ready for an experience you’ve never had before. One that will tap into your secret dreams and show you the path to a whole new way of living your life — the life you were meant to live.

Are you brave enough to do it?  To seek out the miracles lying dormant within you and give them life?  To meet new people and try new things?  To better understand your own gifts and skills to maximize your success?  What is it you’d ask for if you knew you could have anything you wanted? Would you venture to a place where you could find the miraculous, magnificent YOU that you’ve been waiting for?

Of course you would! Especially when that place — CampExperience™ — is located at the exclusive Copper Mountain Colorado Resort, and the “camping” is a luxury retreat by amazing women for amazing women. 

We Are Women Who Have, Helping Women Who Need.

You’ll meet scores of women you’ll recognize . . . successful women like you, ready for a powerful, purposeful, breakthrough experience.  And your participation will transform the lives of other Colorado women, served by our Charity Partners Warren Village, The Denver Rescue Mission, Partners in Housing and TESSA.

Now is your time for a Camp experience…….Register today!  We will see you there!
