Join Young Women with Purpose this January on the Mornington Peninsula for Camp Wild & Free, a retreat where summer camp meets self care, because why should summer camp only be for the young?

Think warm days on the water, breathwork, an evening at the hot springs, flower arranging, cups of tea on the deck, crafternoons, acknowledgements, and so much more 😍

At our retreat we will focus on connection, healing, play, and the magic of being women.

You will walk away feeling connected, relaxed, and excited to bring the element of play back home with you.

We have an INCREDIBLE chef joining us on retreat to nourish everyone. We may be running a "Summer Camp" retreat, but that assignment is not given to our chef! With fresh, healthy, and delicious meals that won't just taste good, but will also be so good for you, you won't want to go home!

Our retreat will be held at Iluka Retreat, just a few minutes from Shoreham Beach!

Stay at Iluka Lodge in a camp-style share room, where you will get to share a room with your new besties, wake up to native wildlife, and take strolls around the massive property and the lake in your free time. With a kitchen where our chef will be preparing and serving your meals, a lounge area for everyone to hang out in, and space to be WILD & FREE.

With decking offering stunning views of the property, you will happily take a seat in the morning while you take in the views.

As kids our whole job is to play, but as we get older and take on responsibilities, we stop seeing play as important or necessary. I'm here to change that!  

I am a neuro-spicy outdoor educator and event coordinator who has spent the past 11 years working with both young people and adults in my various ventures. From coordinating and facilitating school camps, to sea kayak guiding in the Canadian wilderness, to running my own retreat-based business for mums and daughters, I have a strong passion for working with young people and women and going deep into the feminine work (Think relationships, feminine and masculine energies, communication, connection, and play).

I am an advocate for young people who are neurodivergent and use my own experiences to show my friends and clients that their brains aren’t broken or wrong, but simply different in their own fun ways and something to be celebrated.

I strive to create a judgement free space that allows others to be their weird, wild, emotional, silly selves! Your differences are what make you amazing and you're allowed to feel the full range of emotions. In fact, the messier you get, the better! 

We understand that life can be unpredictable. However, to ensure fairness and manage expectations for all participants and organisers, we have established the following cancellation policy for our retreats:

Full Refund: If you need to cancel your retreat you can do so without any financial penalty 60+ days before the start date of the retreat. You will receive a full refund of any fees paid.

Partial Refund: Cancellations made within 60-30 days of the retreat's start date are eligible for 50% of your payment to be refunded, and 50% payment will be forfeited. We recognise that circumstances can change, and this policy is designed to balance flexibility with the need for prior planning and organisation. 

Non-Refundable: Any cancellations made within 30 days of the retreat's commencement are non-refundable and full payment will be forfeited. At this late stage, most of the arrangements and expenses for the retreat are already committed, and it becomes challenging to accommodate changes. 

• To cancel, please notify us in writing by emailing hazel@youngwomenwithpurpose.com.au
• Refunds will be processed within 30 days of receiving your cancellation notice.
• We recommend that you consider travel insurance that covers cancellation fees in case of unforeseen circumstances.
• By signing up for our retreat, you acknowledge and agree to this cancellation policy.
