The Women’s Outdoor Retreat is a weekend event designed for women to experience nature and outdoor recreation with like-minded ladies in a non-competitive environment. Nature walks, kayaking, fishing, outdoor cooking, and photography are just a few of the nearly 30 classes from which to choose. 

The Retreat is presented by the South Carolina Wildlife Federation and sponsored by Cabela’s and Hickory Knob State Resort Park. We are pleased to have the support of several outfitters and organizations including the SC Department of Natural Resources, Stone Point Archery, Earth Connection Outfitters, Angling Women, Berkeley County Blueways, Colonial Ladies Society, Clemson University Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism Management, Savannah Lakes Village, Blueway Adventures, and River Runner Outdoor Center.  These partnerships enable us to provide a wide variety of activities conducted by a diverse group of expert instructors.  A special thank you is due to the numerous individual volunteers who so willingly donate their time to share their knowledge and expertise.
