FAQ
FAQ
Q: What is the age range of the group?
A: Our group is open to women aged 21 and above, which gives us a diverse age range of attendees. From 21-year-olds to 75-year-olds, our events attract a diverse group of women who share a passion for an active lifestyle. What may surprise you is that, contrary to common assumptions, physical appearance provides little insight into someone's age in our group. We encourage individuals to show up and let go of any insecurities they may have. Join us and be part of a supportive community where age is just a number!
Q: What are shared trip accommodations like?
A: One of the highlights of Baddies trips is the opportunity to stay in luxury homes. This aspect of our trips offers a unique and indulgent experience that allows us to unwind and indulge in comfort. We prioritize location, amenities, and ambiance. we ensure that our homes are nestled in beautiful and serene surroundings, providing the perfect backdrop for our adventures. The attention to detail in each home we select is impeccable, creating a luxurious atmosphere that is both inviting and indulgent.
To provide the best possible value, the accommodations offered are shared. This means that you will share the space with other Baddies. By opting for shared occupancy, you can enjoy the luxury of a top-end property at a lower cost per person. Please note that prices listed are per person, inclusive of the amenities and services mentioned above. If you are more comfortable with your own space, you have the option to reserve both spots on a single bed.
Q: What is an "Air Mattress Spot"?
A: I examined the layout of the house and devised a plan that would enable all Baddies, regardless of their financial situation, to enjoy an affordable trip. To strike a balance between affordability and quality, I strategically incorporated Air Mattress Spots into the house design. Please note that participants are responsible for bringing their own air mattresses and all necessary items.
Q: What if I purchased a spot for a friend?
A: If you're purchasing for yourself and a friend, you've already acknowledged reading and agreeing to the Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement by checking the box during checkout. However, your friend still needs to submit their Liability Waiver.
