Camp Welcome // Week One, Mackinac Island // June 6-11, 2026
For the women needing a summertime getaway in the Nantucket of the Midwest. If you’re obsessed with good food, hospitality that will inspire you, and boutique experiences that will challenge you in all the best ways, this trip is for you.
If you’ve ever wanted to see Mackinac in all its glory toward the beginning of the season when the lilacs are blooming, this is your chance, ladies! Come with us for the ultimate adult summer camp in one of the most beautiful spots in the United States.
Here’s a sample itinerary for this retreat:
June 6: Arrive at our cozy B&B in Bellaire for a curated, farm-to-table dinner on our wrap-around porch. We’ll enjoy some s’mores and wine by the campfire before heading out on our big adventure to Mackinac Island in the morning.
June 7: We’ll enjoy breakfast together at our B&B, and then carpool up to Mackinaw City, where we’ll hop on a ferry to Mackinac. We’ll get settled at our accommodations for the week, and enjoy a delicious dinner out at one of our favorite restaurants on the island.
June 8: Breakfast together, and then we’ll take a historic carriage tour around the island to learn more of the history behind Mackinac Island. We’ll have time to get ready before heading to afternoon tea at The Grand Hotel at 4pm with our very own private horse-drawn taxi. Tonight, we’ll take a walk to watch the sunset on the shores of Lake Huron together.
June 9: Breakfast together, then a fudge-making class at Ryba’s at 11am. We’ll give you time to shop and look around this afternoon on your own, and relax. Tonight, we’ll enjoy a private art class on the water, trying our hand at watercolors inspired by the beauty around us.
June 10: Breakfast together, then we’ll embark on a 3-hour bike ride around the island with a picnic lunch. We’ll check out Arch Rock, and take plenty of photos of the incredible Mackinac Bridge. This afternoon, we’ll do any last minute shopping, and have time to explore on your own before a fancy goodbye dinner at 1852 Grill Room.
June 11: After breakfast, we’ll all take the ferry, and drive back to Bellaire, where we’ll part ways after making sure you’ve got a boxed lunch to take with you on the road.

This retreat is filled to the brim with all of the hospitality we can muster. I can’t wait to invite you into my home in beautiful Northern MI, and onto the infamous Mackinac Island, for a week to remember. You will be pampered, you will leave with new friends, and you will experience hospitality on another level.

NOTE: If you are the type of person who needs every second of a trip planned out, and you struggle to remain flexible when traveling, our trips are probably not for you.

As someone who understands this area well, I promise to give you my best - and ONLY my best - to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.
