SUMMARY:Fly Fishing Fundamentals 2026- Intermediate/Advanced I
DESCRIPTION:Once again Shrine Mont has teamed up with Orkney Springs Outfitters to offer an immersive introduction to Fly Fishing weekend course designed to teach students about the intricacies of fly fishing with hands on instruction that covers everything from tying flies and casting to pond and river fishing at the South River for trout. During the 3 day event\, students will start with the basics of casting\, practice on a stocked pond and then hit the river for a day of quality fishing. This class is perfect for intermediate to advanced fly fishers. \nLodging and meals are included in the package.\nAbout the instructor:\n\nDavid Clark learned to tie flies at the age of 12\, selling them to the old anglers at Columbia Fish & Game in Lancaster Pennsylvania. He finally learned to fly fish at the age of 15 with the help of a local fly shop owner. After several trips to New Mexico\, Colorado\, Connecticut\, Pennsylvania\, North Carolina and West Virginia over the next several decades\, David decided to immerse himself in the craft by dedicating 110 days during the 2020-2021 fly fishing season to study many of the fly-fishing destinations here in Virginia and the fly patterns they support. Armed with this knowledge – and private access water – he started Orkney Springs Outfitters for both beginners and advanced practitioners. \nClick HERE for more information about Orkney Springs Outfitters.\nWaders/Boots required\, rods can be rented for $50\nTentative Schedule\nFriday May 15\n \nArrive @ Shrine Mont at noon\, check in\, get settled\nLunch 12:30\nFly rod and reel setup overview 1:45 to 2:45\nFly casting 101: 3:00 to 4:00\nFly tying demo 4:00 to 4:30\nHappy hour 5:00\nDinner 6:00 \nSaturday May 16\nBreakfast 8:00\nFly casting practice at stocked pond 10:00 to 12:00\nLunch 12:00\nFly casting at stocked pond 1:30 to 3:30\nGear check for South River excursion 3:30 to 4:00\nHappy hour 5:00\nDinner 6:00 \nSunday May 17\n \nMeet and eat  breakfast on the go at 8:00 am\nTravel to private South River camp 8:30 to 9:45\nFly fish South River 10:00 to 3:00 with bagged lunch on river\nReturn to Shrine Mont between 3:15 and 4:30 or depart from South River \n  \n  \n\nRate: $800\nRegistration available through Orkney Springs Outfitters: Order Online | Orkney Springs Outfitters

SUMMARY:Women's Retreat: Centered in the Risen Christ-Steady Hearts in a Burning World
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: The Rev. Laura Minnich Lockey\n \nThe Rev. Laura Minnich Lockey is a life-long Episcopalian\, raised in a military family\, with church experiences in many dioceses and locations. She loves the Episcopal Church; it is where she learned that she was a beloved child of God\, and where she learned to love Jesus. As her family moved from one station to another in the US and Germany\, and her living environment shifted every 18 months to 2 years\, the Episcopal Church and the language of the liturgy stayed the same. The liturgy speaks deeply to her soul. \nShe holds BSEd and MSEd degrees in Special Education from Southwest Texas State University\, and an M.Div. from Virginia Theological Seminary. In 1992 she married Russell (USCG Retired); they have three adult children. \nIn the midst of these challenging times in our church\, and in our society\, Laura listens well\, and practices collaborative leadership; seeking common vision and understanding is essential. With experience in educational\, parish\, and diocesan systems\, she has a strong understanding of how systems can work well together. The majority of her career has been spent in chaplaincy and small churches; this gives her a unique perspective on committee work. She served on the Standing Committee in the past\, and enjoys that kind of collaborative work. \nWomen’s Retreat Agenda\n\nRates (include 2 night’s lodging\, 6 meals\, and program costs)\nDouble Occupancy: $360.00 per person\nSingle Occupancy: $425.00 per person\nRegister Below:\n\n\n \nForm secured by GivingTools online giving.\n \n\nClick Here to see Shrine Mont’s cancellation policy
