Backpacking Retreat Reflections <3

I would love your feedback!

As you guys know, this was my first time leading a backpacking retreat and your willingness to participate and dive in was an absolute dream for me! Thank you for being so open during the retreat about ideas for the future! Your feedback is MONUMENTAL for me going forward as I create future retreat experiences for women!

I would so appreciate you taking the time to answer the following questions which will come through as anonymous on my end :)

I decided to make most of these “short answer” style questions so that you have the ability to expand where you feel inspired to add more. Feel free to answer single word answers like yes, no or unsure whenever appropriate for you.

12. Travel Preferences Would you prefer retreats that are closer to home or are you open to traveling to more distant or remote locations? (Please explain your preference.)

13. Group Size Did you feel the group size on this retreat was ideal? Would you prefer smaller, more intimate groups or larger groups in future retreats?

14. Ideal Season/Weather Which season or type of weather would you prefer for a future backpacking retreat? (e.g., spring, summer, fall, winter; cooler vs. warmer climates)
