Memories Made, Friendships Reforged
Over the years, Waldemar Women’s Week has offered a wide range of creative and enriching classes. Guests have explored hands-on crafts such as glass jewelry, ceramics, pottery with horsehair design, feather arrangements, beading, pen-and-ink sketching, and watercolor painting. Others have enjoyed designing t-shirts and silk scarves or learning new creative techniques, along with taking time for themselves through spa services such as massages and other holistic offerings available throughout the week.
Learning, Creating, Exploring
In addition to studio-based classes, the week has also included thoughtful, skill-building sessions in areas like digital photography, handwriting analysis, feng shui, and even auto mechanics. Throughout the years, we’ve been fortunate to welcome accomplished authors and speakers from around the world who join us not only to teach, but to be part of the Waldemar experience.
Of course, Women’s Week also embraces the classic Waldemar activities that many guests look forward to year after year. Tennis, archery, and canoeing are always available, along with one of the most beloved traditions of the week, the early morning horseback ride followed by breakfast, a peaceful way to start the day and a favorite for many returning guests.
Music, Meals, Memories
When the sun sets, the fun at Waldemar Women’s Week continues. Each night features a themed event with a social hour to connect and unwind, followed by chef-prepared dinners, music, and lively entertainment. Guests gather to laugh, dance, and celebrate together—creating memorable evenings that are just as engaging and joyful as the days.
