Outing/Walk in Dickens Christmas for Dickens Christmas

Join Women Outdoors for an unconventional outing to visit Skaneateles and stroll the streets with the Dickens characters, have lunch, shop and/or and walk along pathways.

We’ll also take the time for a short walk out to the small park at the end of the lake and out along the pier.

Lunch will be at the Garage – time TBD when we meet.

Dress for the weather!!

This free event is open to members and non-members of Women Outdoors. Non-members are invited to join us on two events to see what you think. The third time's a charm - we'll ask you to join Women Outdoors at that point. You can join now by clicking on

RSVP for directions and meeting location.
