A Day of Connection, Rest & Renewal

Want to experience Women in the Woods but aren’t able to stay overnight? The Day Only option invites you to join us for a full day of community, creativity, connection, and time in the forest—without camping overnight.

Leave behind the noise of everyday life and step into a simpler rhythm at beautiful Camp Smith, an easy 15-minute drive from McMinnville. Spend the day surrounded by trees, nourishing yourself through nature connection, creative activities, gentle movement, meaningful conversation, and plenty of time to simply relax and enjoy the forest.

Whether you come with a friend or arrive on your own, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive, inclusive community where you can show up exactly as you are. Our hope is that you’ll leave feeling rested, inspired, and more deeply connected, to yourself, to others, and to the natural world.

Day Only Schedule

Programming: 10:30 AM–5:00 PM

Your Day Only registration includes access to the day’s programming, as well as lunch and snacks. Breakfast and dinner are not included.

Throughout the day, you’ll have opportunities to participate in:

• Nature connection activities
• Creative arts and hands-on workshops
• Gentle movement and mindfulness
• Community circles and meaningful conversation
• Time to rest, wander, or simply enjoy the forest
• Campfires, laughter, and genuine connection

Participation in activities is completely optional. Listen to your own needs and create a day that feels restorative to you. Join a workshop, connect with others, take a quiet walk through the woods, or find a peaceful spot to relax.

Arrival & Departure

Because Camp Smith is a gated property, guests will enter and leave during designated gate-opening times. This allows us to keep the property secure while everyone is enjoying the gathering.

• Arrival: Gates open 9:45–10:15 AM
• Programming: 10:30 AM–5:00 PM
• Departure: Please leave the event site by 5:30 PM
• Gate for departure: Open 5:15–5:45 PM

The event site is approximately 15 minutes from the property entrance, so please plan enough time to travel from the gate to the event site when arriving and to return to the gate after the day’s programming. Late arrivals and early departures are not possible outside of the designated gate times except in an emergency, so please plan your day accordingly.

A Few Things to Know

Camp Smith is a beautiful, rustic setting in the woods, and cell service can be limited and spotty. We recommend letting family or friends know that you may be difficult to reach while you’re at camp and taking care of any important calls or messages before you arrive.

A packing list and additional information about the day will be emailed to registered participants before the event.

Who Is This Weekend For?

Women in the Woods is open to adults ages 18 and older. We welcome cisgender women, transgender women, nonbinary, genderqueer, and gender-expansive people who feel comfortable in a space centered on the femme experience. 

No camping experience is necessary—and with the Day Only option, you don’t need to camp at all!

Our Values

Women in the Woods is rooted in the belief that spending time in nature and in authentic community can be deeply restorative. We strive to create a welcoming, respectful environment where everyone feels safe, included, and valued.

As a zero-waste gathering, we ask everyone to help minimize our environmental impact by bringing reusable dishes and utensils and being mindful of the resources we share throughout the weekend.

Come for the day, slow down, connect, and spend some time in the woods with us. We’d love to have you join us!
