A Charmed Affair is Respite Retreats’ signature Girls’ Day Out, a joyful, laughter filled afternoon designed to bring women together for fun, friendship, and a meaningful cause.

Guests begin the day by checking in at Xenia and receiving their magical scroll, a curated list of creative photo and video challenges happening around town. Each challenge has a point value, and teams venture out to complete as many as they can. Think playful, festive, a little competitive, and completely unforgettable.

From princess poses to holiday inspired moments, every snapshot captures joy and every point brings teams closer to winning a special prize.

After the adventure, everyone returns to Xenia to celebrate together with a delicious luncheon, raffles and fun contests, a silent auction, networking and new friendships, and lots of laughter and sparkle.

It is more than an event. It is an experience.

While the day is lighthearted and whimsical, the purpose is deeply meaningful. Proceeds from A Charmed Affair support the mission of Respite Retreats, providing uplifting, restorative respite programs for individuals and families navigating cancer.

New this year, we are adding a festive Christmas in July theme, bringing a little holiday sparkle to the sunshine. Expect merry moments, playful challenges, and just the right touch of seasonal magic in the middle of summer.

Also new this year is an exciting opportunity to make an even bigger impact. Guests can fundraise to earn free tickets and qualify for a chance to win an incredible Team Overnight complete with spa treatments. Rally your friends, share the mission, raise support for Respite Retreats, and you could be celebrating together long after the tiaras come off.

So grab your girlfriends. Wear the tiara. Gather your team. Come for the fun. Leave knowing you helped refuel a spirit.
