I am so excited to serve as the Lake Tahoe retreat coordinator. It's such an honor to give back and serve those in need of care and relaxation. As a prior Little Pink Houses of Hope participant and volunteer, I am committed to ensuring our families have memorable experiences while enjoying the beauty and tranquility that Lake Tahoe has to offer.

Lake Tahoe
California
2023 RETREAT DATE:
Sep 10 - Sep 16

Lake Tahoe, the clear, cobalt blue lake tucked into the snowy Sierra Nevada mountain range, welcomes Little Pink families to its easygoing and pine-scented atmosphere.  Located atop the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range on the California and Nevada border, Lake Tahoe is widely considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. This natural treasure offers the ultimate high-country experience with superb outdoor recreation and magnificent scenery throughout the year.  Tahoe embodies the American Dream’s concept of “having it all” – it quite literally has it all. Hike mountains trails, bask on sunny beaches, explore the niche shopping boutiques or sit and watch a beautiful sunset on the lake. This retreat is held in Tahoe City, CA.

The financial environment of not having to pay for anything was a huge stress relief, and that is priceless.
