We cater to groups of women who want to play, work or socialize together...
If you are looking for a venue with a difference that can lodge up to 10 women and includes meals, The Nurtury is worth thinking about. We have put on customized weekends for a number of groups, and are always open to welcoming other groups to our unique facility. Below you'll find a few examples of how women have used The Nurtury to create for themselves a one-off experience. As you'll see, for some the experience hasn't stopped here... |

women's working group
This group of academics needed a place to workshop ideas after a conference in their field took place at McGill University. Just an hour out of Montreal, The Nurtury provided the perfect place for them to escape for a weekend of creative thinking and programme planning before they headed home to their various universities across North America. Getting here was made easier when the group of 8 rented a minivan from the airport. Our high speed internet connection made coordinating with colleagues in the US via Skype possible for the 2 days of meetings. And The Nurtury's spatial layout was equally conducive to accommodating whole group meetings and smaller break-out sessions. By combining intense working sessions with rejuvenating walks in the woods and fine dining, this group managed to get a lot accomplished while also enjoying some down time together. If you are looking for a location to hold your own work-related retreats or meetings, please contact us and we'll be happy to put a package together for you. |

women's card playing group
For some time now a group of women in the Pointe Claire area have been meeting on Fridays to play cards together. This past Spring they made a full weekend of it - playing card games that ranged from Wizard to Five Crowns to Salad; enjoying strolls round the property and conversation round the dinner table between sessions. The competition was fierce. The prizes - courtesy of Debbie "the Trickster" Trickie, who alongside Kathy "Cool Hand" McKnight, organized the weekend - were worth fighting for. This was a great example of how the Nurtury can be used by a group of women who want to get away from it all and spend a weekend getting pampered in the hospitality department whilst enjoying an activity together. If you are part of a social group or club and want to spend some quality time doing something that you enjoy, please contact us and we'll be happy to put a package together for you. |

women's band jam
This past summer 8 friends who had in common a love of music and a desire to jam together booked The Nurtury for a weekend. What began as an idea between two women who occasionally get together to play guitar and flute duos, and wanted to add a bit of oomph to their sound, soon gathered momentum. First, a couple of clarinet players who hadn't touched their instruments since high school band days signed on. Next, a piano player with full band scores at her fingertips (!!) generously came forward. Recruiting in a women's hockey locker room brought a singer and a percussionist on board. And, to borrow from The Partridge Family, it really came together when a xylophonist played along. This is how it can happen: it only takes a whim of an idea and a bit of application to create a fantastic weekend activity for you and your friends. Not only did these women have a terrific time playing together over the course of their weekend...They've put together a Montreal-based practice schedule and are continuing to play as The Elegant Hedgehogs. If you have an idea for a group activity with your friends and want to turn it into a reality, please contact us and we'll be happy to put a package together for you. |
