Wiawaka women's retreat celebrates 120 years on Lake George
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (NEWS10) - Wiawaka Center for Women uses Lake George as a backdrop for arts celebrations, wellness programs and workshops, all in dedication to enriching the lives of women.

“We take great pride in this historical milestone and express our deep gratitude to all our
supporters who have been instrumental in helping us reach this significant achievement,” said Wiawaka Center Executive Director Doreen Kelly.
