OCRS Prepares for All-Women's Weekend 2010

Oak Creek Ranch School, an Arizona boarding school, in conjunction with Learn Outdoors, is hosting its Second Annual Young Women’s Weekend from January 29 to 31 at a beautiful cabin in the Prescott National Forest. The all-girls getaway is open to OCRS students from grades 7 to 10.

Activities will include:
· repelling at the Prescott Dells
