What do you get when 350 mothers choose to come together for a weekend of pampering and great breakout sessions? A big smile that lasts two days. That's what happened for me at the Rochester Mom-Camp this weekend. It really was beautiful to see so many women taking some time out for themselves. I'm sure that every one of them went home feeling more in balance and rejuvenated.
I stayed at the Kahler Grand hotel and only got a few hours of sleep on Friday night. That was because the women in the rooms on either side of me were having so much fun with their evening of independence. Every time I'd begin to doze off, a ripple of laughter would wake me. I was happy for them and wasn't about to ruin their fun. I justified my lack of sleep, telling myself that if I was with their rooms I'd be having just as much of a good time.
Our facilitator, Becca Pournoor led the session on "Your Ideal Sexual Life: It's All About Communication." She offered the same session at Mom-Camp Twin Cities this fall. It was so well received, they asked us to bring it to Rochester. Again, it was a hit and the participants were happy to have a place to ask their questions and openly communicate. Laurie Aarchbold, the organizer of the Rochester Mom-Camp jokingly said they could have easily offered just three sessions and kept everyone happy; "Ideal Sexual Life," "How to Look Like a Million" and something on how to make a million. Becca's session filled once again and Mom-Camp sold out at 350.
I tabled in the Canteen area and met so many lovely and interesting women. I look forward to going back to Rochester with our sessions and staying involved with Mom-Camp. I left feeling just as inspired as all the campers.
