A Voyage on the Plains — July 16-19
Cedar Crest Lodge
Pleasanton, Kansas
This sprawling country property less than an hour south of Kansas City offers a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, hiking, spa services*, and farm-fresh dining.
Readers will have many options for where they can tuck into their books — sunning at the pool, overlooking gorgeous sunset views, curled up in a library chair. In addition to the free reading time, once daily group activities are available, but never mandatory! This includes a Movement for Readers class, an art afternoon, and movie night.
*Spa services can be booked as an add-on
