Camp Widjiwagan is a YMCA camp located about 20 miles outside of Ely, Mn. on the shores of Burntside Lake. It's where we started this whole fun event. Things have changed since we started, but Widji (even with it's changes) has kept it's cozy, Northwoods feel. That's why we love it.

During the retreat we allow for plenty of time to do your own thing. We like to think of our retreats as "Create Your Own". We offer a variety of choices you can pick and choose from, making the retreat exactly what you want it to be. 

We usually offer a knitting project, but you can work on anything you want.

We bring a massage therapist to this retreat. His wife is a knitter (lucky us) and he has been with us for about 10 years. He brings his table and his chair so you can get a full on massage, or have him work on your shoulders for 10 minutes 

We also bring a yoga teacher (no extra fee). She is also a knitter:) She will lead us in stretches throughout the week-end (no mat needed) . She will also lead a Saturday morning session before breakfast which is optional.
