Anne LaBastille Women’s Writing Weekend
Join a group of like-minded women for a reading and writing retreat!
Activities will include writing workshops, reflective paddling, arts-based activities, technical writing, experiential learning, and Adirondack-based readings to contemplate the role of sense of place in nature writing.
Great Camp Sagamore is pleased to offer this workshop in collaboration with the Adirondack Center for Writing of Saranac Lake, an organization dedicated to building a community of reading, writing and listening across the Adirondack region. This weekend is dedicated to the memory of Anne LaBastille, whose passion for the Adirondacks led to her writing the landmark series of "Woodswoman" books documenting her experiences and observations of the natural world. This program is made possible through the Anne LaBastille Estate.
Choose from a two-night or a four-night option. The 4-night program includes an optional guided paddle excursion on “Black Bear Lake” to the site of Anne’s Cabin where participants will share lunch and have time to explore, write, and reflect.
