The word women use most to describe our camps is
“magic.”
Blair - Session 4
“A phenomenal experience that every woman should experience. The best trip I have taken in a decade. Met amazing people from around the globe at various stages in their life, and I am so grateful I was able to experience Camp Château magic.”
Sue - Session 2
“Camp Château absolutely shattered all my expectations of what a camp experience for grown women would be. A week at Camp provided an amazingly freeing, welcoming, warm, and inclusive environment where I could shrug off daily life and relax, recharge, laugh, learn, explore, and just breathe. The jaw-droppingly gorgeous Château de Béduer sprinkles a special kind of magic upon the campers, creating friendships and connections you didn’t know you needed in your life.”
