A 3-Day Nervous System Reset Experience | The Manistee River Loop Trail
19.8 miles | Loop | Backpacking Trip | $299
Recess Club: Wild in the Woods is a 3-day, 2-night guided backpacking experience designed to help you unplug, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself through nature, movement, and simplicity.
We’ll hike in together, carrying only what we need, set up camp, share a meal, and spend time grounded in the quiet rhythm of the outdoors.
This is not about intensity.
This is about intention.
