$85 Lake Geneva Mama-POOL-ooza 👙

Is your sanity currently held together by coffee and the faint hope of bedtime? Then ditch the chaos and join us for a gloriously child-free pool party in Lake Geneva! We're providing transportation there and back, the booze, lunch, and a peaceful setting that also includes a hot tub, volleyball, corn hole, and more!

 

You'll be whisked away to Lake Geneva, leaving the laundry and the Legos behind. We're talking music that isn't from a cartoon, delicious food you don't have to share, conversations that don't revolve around Paw Patrol, and fun games that aren't Candyland. Connect with other moms who understand the struggle. This is your chance to reclaim your inner poolside goddess (or at least, your inner mom who isn't covered in sticky fingerprints). Support a great cause and give yourself the break you desperately deserve!

 

Cost: $85/person
Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025 (9:30am pick-up from Audubon, estimated return 6:30pm)
Hosted by: Nyssa Gomez & Hayley Westhoff
