This weekend retreat includes lodging, activities, breakfasts, a welcome reception and pizza party!

SheLift alumna & their moms or new faces entirely!
Most activities suitable for kids 8+ years old.
Kids younger than 8 and their moms are still encouraged to come!

Accommodations
For 3 nights we will be staying at The National Ability Center / Bronfman Family Ranch Recreation & Education Center
The lodge will be our home base for most activities and gatherings. This is a private, two-story facility and includes 25 double occupancy rooms with private baths. SheLift will have the entire property to ourselves!
The building features a lobby and common gathering area as well as a kitchen and dining area. In 1996 an anonymous donor provided the National Ability Center with 26-acres of pristine land minutes from three world-class ski resorts and Main Street in Park City. As the culmination of the founders’ life-long vision, the National Ability Center is a place where there are no boundaries — a place for self-discovery, and a place where everyone can challenge their abilities to achieve their personal best.
