Stronger GIRL GLAMPOUT
October 25-27, 2024
Weekend WOMEN’S RETREAT designed to fuel and inspire you to grow and recharge
Embrace your brave and explore how getting disconnected in nature helps us stay connected. Experience inspirational, relaxed Stronger Girl programming (and coffee, of course!) + glamping + hiking + campfires + connecting + journaling + s’mores + more!
Enjoy nature crafts, beautiful fall foliage, exploring a 50-acre campsite and a schedule that invites connection in small groups or together as a community of stronger girls. This experience is designed for gals to bring friends they’ve known forever and to broaden their circle with new ones.
connection + nature
The two-night glampout is hosted at Dappled Light Adventures, a 50-acre cliffside property in Zoe, Kentucky, just a few minutes from Red River Gorge. We’ll have access to the entire property, which includes trails, 10 glamping tents with electricity, private porches, fire pits and access to a bathhouse and outdoor grills. This venue is easily accessible (no scary uphill drives). YES, there’s wifi, but we’ll encourage you to disconnect to stay connected to the experience.
The programming is designed for extroverts and introverts to comfortably co-exist and for creatives to share their talents either in a group setting or privately on their own. Focused on the connections we have with nature, and each other, the 2024 Stronger Girl Glampout encourages you to “Let Go and Grow.”
Registration is $365 (per glamper) for lodging (2 nights - Friday & Saturday) in a glamping tent with access to bath house and main cabin; community dinner, picnic lunch, snacks, programming, campfires, nature crafts and hiking on 50-acre campsite.
(An entire tent can be claimed for four people for $1,450.)
Sponsorship opportunities for businesses interested in celebrating the Stronger Girl audience are offered below. See “Wanna Be a Sponsor?”

Red River Gorge is the birthplace of the phrase, “Stronger Girl,” and, there’s simply no better place in Kentucky for fall foliage. Dappled Light Adventures, a 50-acre cliffside property in Zoe, Kentucky, is just a few minutes from Red River Gorge. We’ll have access to the entire property, which includes trails, 10 glamping tents with electricity, private porches, fire pits and access to a bathhouse and main cabin.

Relaxed programming starts with a community social hour and dinner on Friday with a creative icebreaker, a campfire circle and activities designed to spark reflection and intention. Saturday includes optional, self-guided crafts, hikes and journal prompts that encourage connection with nature. Self-served breakfasts will be hosted in the main cabin where glampers are invited to enjoy a coffee bar and views of incredible fall color on the back deck. We’ll pack picnic lunches and participate in a community hike, optional afternoon yoga and a scavenger hunt on Saturday, with takeout from Miguel’s Pizza that evening*. Glampers are invited to participate in group activities, but there is also plenty of time for individual hiking, journaling, quiet reading or afternoon snoozes. Both early risers and late sleepers are welcome. The pace for hiking is relaxed and easy-to-moderate in difficulty, including short excursions to a small waterfall area and a massive rock overhang. Saturday’s community hike offers a must-see view from a cliffside overlook. Sunrise coffee and evening s’mores around the campfire will be celebrated each day. The programming is designed for extroverts and introverts to comfortably co-exist and for creatives to share their talents either in a group setting or privately on their own. Focused on the connections with have with nature — and each other — the 2024 Stronger Girl Glampout encourages you to “Let Go and Grow.”
