    Enjoy the sunset & wind down

    Our favourite part of the day is gathering around the bonfire. It's where  we can all share our stories from the day, get to know each other better and once again marvel at nature's beauty.

     

    On our last night together we have a special bonfire ceremony to officially close the retreat.

I took my daughter to a ChiTechnique Camp with Sarah and it was an incredible experience. We thought it was going to be just about healthy running and it turned out to be so much more!

 

The location is spectacular and every detail was thoughtfully planned out. It was nice to be out in the country, on the water, immersed in healthy activities and also have enough down time to really relax and unplug. It was a bonding experience for us that we will never forget!"

LOCATION & DIRECTIONS

Isle La Motte is the northern most island in Vermont. Although it's an island, it's easily accessible by car over the causeway from Alburgh Peninsula. Very little has changed - step back in time, truly slow down and take in the natural beauty.

 

 

Getting there:

  • 43 miles (about an hour drive) from Burlington International Airport (BTV)
  • Directions from BTV
  • Easily accessible from Canada  
  • Straight drive up from NYC
     

Island Exploration & History:

  • Teddy Roosevelt was invited to the Fisk Farm to speak to the Fish & Game League, when the unexpected and sad assassination of President McKinley occurred. Roosevelt had to leave immediately to go to Albany, NY to be sworn in as the 26th President of the United States.
     
  • The Chazy Fossil Reef is a 460 million year old, world renowned geological treasure, which underlies much of the bedrock of southern Isle La Motte. It is considered the oldest coral reef in the world with fossils to prove it and now a National Natural Landmark, protected by the Federal Government.
     
  • St. Anne's Shrine is a Roman Catholic Shrine located on the island. Its sprawling grounds, outdoor chapel and lakeside location make it a very unique place of worship. Its quiet beauty and welcoming atmosphere add to its charm.

A group of us decided that we needed to get away.

 

We love running and thought this would be perfect!  What we got was an experience of a lifetime. Sarah put together an itinerary just for us that focused on improving our running but also let us have a ton of fun.

 

We wore tutus just to be silly!  The best thing about the retreat was that we were able to learn how to improve our running, and we also learned about ourselves and each other. "
