The 2010 Women's Challenge was a big success. We had 2 ladies fly in from Oklahoma, one from South Carolina, 4 drive over from Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN area and two ND women involved. Even though we had very warm temperatures and actually lost snow on parts of the trail, the women and dogs did not quit!! They spent half a day learning to work with a compass and map (orienteering) and finding 4 locations, dog sledding and relaxing and playing with the two pups, Trek and Tolinka!

TESTIMONIALS:
What a wonderful experience. Good food, new friends, wonderful scerney and a great learning experience. I like the fact it was only for women! Sharon W., OK.
I decided to embark on a once in a lifetime adventure and this opportunity presented itself at the right time. Great instruction, hands-on experiences along with a relaxed, friendly environment made it for a great time. Now I don't believe sledding will be a once in a lifetime event. I'm ready to do it again soon! Kathy S., S.C.
This was a great chance to learn about outdoor activities with your dogs and to get to know other women with the same interests. Kathy M., Bloomington, MN
Helen did a wonderful job organizing and putting on the 2010 Women's Challenge. RWBC is a great site and added to our enjoyment of the weekend. Beign out on the dog sled, orienteering on snowhshoes, going on a starlight nature walk, all were part of a great week end. Dawn F., Mankato, MN
