Are you a fan of the classics? Treat yourself to an end-of-winter break as you lose yourself in one of the most magical, beloved ballets - Swan Lake - as told through Ballet Jorgen dancers at the Harbourfront Theatre in Summerside. Start the evening off with a delicious meal at OpenEats (GC good for one, 3 course Chef’s Dinner). Before heading back to your suite at Quality Inn & Suites after the show, stop by Fiveeleven West (GC value of $25.00) for a couple of drinks to finish off a fabulous evening.

Everyone deserves a little treat every once and a while but many don’t make the time to do it. Well no more excuses! We have a fun package of activities anyone would enjoy. Enjoy a show at City Cinema (two tickets kindly donated by Julie-Lynn Zahavich & Chelsey Folsom). Grab 9 of your friends and head to the PEI Brewing Company for a tour, which includes 2- 5 oz. samples, for a fun evening of laughs and maybe learn a little while you are there. After all that excitement, you can unwind with a new book from the Confederation Centre of the Arts and enjoy a peaceful and comfortable night sleep in your queen suite at The Dundee Arms Inn. Don’t worry about rushing off to find breakfast – you can have breakfast in the Dundee Arms award winning Griffon Dining Room. And for Sunday treat, head to Summerside to enjoy a delicious brunch for two at The Loyalist Country Inn.

Have you ever wished you could name a bird or tree or know the history of a place as you wander through the trails in the National Park? Enjoy a guided snowshoe tour with Island Nature Trust’s past Executive Director, Diane Griffin. Diane will guide you & 7 of your friends though the Bubbling Springs Trail within the PEI National Park. Snowshoeing for 2-3 hours can be a good work-out so head back to your suite at Brackley Beach Northwinds Inn & Suites to relax by the fire or enjoy a nice soak in the tub while you indulge in some well-deserved chocolates courtesy of Murphy’s Pharmacies.  (Hotel stay is for two nights!)

This package is sure to sooth away mid-winter stress. It includes a massage by Lynn MacDonald of NOVA Massage & Laser Clinic and soothing Aqua Therapy sessions from GRAND Senses Spa. Complete your wellness experience with a cut and style at Tink & Ginger Eco-salon (donated by Megan Harris) and then enjoy a hot cup of tea courtesy of Lady Bakers Tea Trolley (10 pack of wellness teas).
