Get away for the weekend with the Desert Institute at Joshua Tree National Park! Join other women for a camping weekend where you can go to unplug, to get away, to learn new skills and to enjoy the company of other course participants. Trade in your computer, cell phone, Instagram, clocks, schedules and workplace jargon for an off-the-grid weekend with the girls for two days of pure unadulterated fun and education! Join Pam and Robin learning about camping, camp cooking, hiking, yoga and enjoying Joshua Tree National Park. This weekend class will be held at the Lost Horse Campsite, a beautiful location that is perfect for this program! We will also be traveling to trails at times so you will need access to your car.
