about us

dogwood is our home. we have committed to steward this land in honor of those who came before, and those who will come after.

our retreat space was born from a shared vision: to create a place where nature, adventure, and mindfulness come together.

this is a micro-retreat center, short-term rental, and the headquarters of Olympia Outfitters, through which we offer guided outdoor experiences that honor the beauty of the land and the spirit of connection.

we are a husband & wife team -Colton, a veteran & engineer from the mountains of Colorado with a lifelong love for the outdoors; and Jess, a cancer survivor, yoga teacher, outdoorswoman, and lawyer.

we hope our efforts help others rediscover their own strength through immersive experiences in nature. We believe that spending time outside—whether fishing and hunting on the Puget Sound, practicing yoga beneath the trees, or sharing stories by the fire—can be transformative and deeply healing.

as a woman & veteran–owned business, we are committed to guiding people outdoors responsibly, honoring those who came before and those who will come after. every experience we offer reflects our values: respect for the land, care for community, and a deep sense of wonder for the wild places that help us remember who we are.
