Oct 4-5, 2025 | This experience is for families of all varieties. As your guides, we will help facilitate a deep connection - with your family, the land and your truest self. Through this experience, you will be able to benefit from new and refreshing ways to interact with one another and our outer landscape. Parents & children will receive time away from each other (if preferred) for self-care, and then come back together for tons of memory-making, fun. Pricing does not include food - we will do it potluck style and share the load. A sign-up sheet will be sent out to all, including the facilitators. Families will all take turns cooking and cleaning up after camp meals.

The Important Details

Dates: Oct 4-5, 2025
Times: Arrive Saturday morning for a 10am programming start. Depart before 2pm on Sunday.
Location: Local campground in Dane County

Sleeping: Family Tent Camping - tents and other camping gear can be supplied if needed. 

Food:
Once registration closes mid-summer, a healthy, kid-friendly menu will be created so families can sign up for certain items to bring and be in charge of.

Cell  / Device Policy: leave it in your car- show your family how to really unplug. Even more fun, print a map to get to our location and leave it at home! We will take pictures / videos and share with the group post event.

​Cancellation Policy: This is a rain or shine event. If forecast shows storms that would make it unsafe to be outside, we will still have an alternate plan (there are shelters to use at our site for group work for protection from the elements) for that weekend at the same location. If you should need to cancel, please see our cancellation policy.

What to Expect

​Hike and Heal Wellness joins forces with Shinrin-Yoku Madison to offer an immersive experience into the forests of Madison. Birds will be migrating back, saying hello with their beautiful songs, mud will make for great tracking conditions and greenery will inspire excitement in the spring season. We will explore and open the senses! This experience will be enriching, relaxing, soothing and oh-so-needed in our overstressed society. "Nature is the healer, the guide opens the door." Kate and Moira will be your guides, offering sensory invitations to ignite the childlike state of mind as well as awaken the pleasures of presence to find beauty and awe. Be prepared for gentle movement, extended time in nature for optimal health benefits, and plenty of opportunity to play create with your loved ones. 

Who is this Retreat For?

Families of all sorts! Bring your kids, brother or sister, nieces & nephews, grandpa's and grandma's if they're abled and wanting to play. We are willing to work with most ages. Children who can be on their own with an adult educator (4+) are preferred. If you bring children younger, just be prepared to explore with them! Email Moira with questions. ​
