Intergenerational Retreat
emerson estate
January 8–10, 2027 | Thermal, California
NWTO is bringing together 24 women from across our age divisions, 30s through 85s, for a three-day retreat centered on tennis, connection, and helping shape the future of NWTO and women’s age-level tennis.
Participants will have the opportunity to get to know women outside their usual age divisions and tennis circles, enjoy tennis and time together, and bring their experiences and perspectives to conversations about where NWTO and women’s age-level tennis go from here.
Applications are open through October 1, 2026. The application is available in the Posts section of the Member Portal.
Where is the Retreat?
The retreat will take place at the Emerson Estate in Thermal, CA, just outside Palm Springs. Participants will stay in shared rooms with individual beds.
What is the Fee to Participate?
The NWTO will cover the cost of housing, meals, and all retreat activities.
Participants are responsible only for their travel and ground transportation to and from the venue.
How are participants selected?
Any current NWTO member may apply, provided they are available to attend January 8–10, 2027 and can cover their own travel expenses. Two participants in each age group (30-85) will be selected in a random draw from the pool of applicants (24 total participants). Selections will take place in October during a Zoom call open to all members. Applicants do not need to attend the call to be selected. The selection date will be announced in an email.
What kinds of activities are planned for the retreat?
Activities are designed to foster connections across generations of players:
• Fun, intergenerational round-robin doubles
• Small-group conversations
• Mentorship moments across age divisions
• Relaxation, yoga, stretching, and other health-building activities
