What to Expect

Arrival begins at 5 pm on Friday, May 8, with a buffet dinner served between 6–7 pm. The weekend includes 3 meals/day & snacks, accommodation in our cabins, and staff-led programming throughout the days and evenings. Departure from Pine Crest is by 2:30 pm on Sunday, May 10. You're welcome to enjoy Pine Crest at your own pace while reading on the dock or by the fire, going for a walk on one of our nature trails, or join staff-led activities like candle making, canoeing, kayaking, fire building (with homemade hot drinks!), saunas & cold plunges, yoga, walks in nature, sessions with a nutritionist, natural watercolour painting & more.

Wink & Wave Mobile Wellness will have an RMT on-site during the weekend. Massages will be available to book & pay for separately from this event registration. Please indicate interest at the time of booking and we will connect you with Wink & Wave to take things from there.

Accommodations

Our accommodations are back-to-basics set-ups with only the essentials. Beds are camp-style — all single mattresses and all bunk beds (no one will have to sleep on a top bunk unless you'd like). Accommodations will be shared. Each cabin will have a few people in it (great opportunity to bring friends you'd like to stay with!) 

Our cabins are scattered around our beautifully rugged site and are one-room spaces each containing 5 single-sized bunk beds. They have electrical outlets as well as small heaters in them to take the edge off on chilly nights. Section washrooms containing toilets, sinks and showers are located centrally and are only a short walk away. If you'd like to make a cabin/lodge or roommate request, please do so at the time of registration. Images and more information about accommodations can be found on the Facilities page.
