Join us for an energizing five days of fitness and fun as we explore the beauty of Prince Edward Island’s North Shore!
We’re inviting you to step away from the fast pace of life & come with us to wonderful Prince Edward Island, to Nordic walk in the fall colours, alongside the Atlantic Ocean, and in the company of like-minded others. This is an ideal opportunity to re-energize & reconnect with the natural world.
We’ll be based at Shaw’s Hotel, a charming country inn in Brackley Bay. (Great grandfather Shaw opened the Inn in 1860 on the family’s pioneer farm, which was originally settled in 1793. Four generations later, the Shaw family continues the tradition.)
Days will begin with a refreshing yoga session and healthy breakfast. Then we’ll be off with our Nordic walking poles -- along a quiet seaside trail to Covehead Harbour Lighthouse, or into P.E.I. National Park with a local bird & photography expert, or along the nearby beach, which boasts the longest sand dune system in the western hemisphere.
After a delicious lunch at our inn, get ready to kayak in pristine Brackley Bay, or to cycle and visit local sights & tiny shops, or to explore quaint Charlottetown on foot.
Dinners will be at our lovely oceanside inn or at nearby history-steeped restaurants. Lots of options for seafood lovers!
We’ve also made time for relaxing, post-dinner fun & a special session for Urban Poling instructors.
There will be two groups for Nordic walking & cycling, so everyone can move at their preferred pace.
We’ve taken care & time in choosing this location & designing a program with everything that we love in a holiday: daily doses of physical activity, nature, relaxing & exploring, healthy meals & the opportunity to make new friends. We can hardly wait. We’d love to meet you there!
