Not just camping.
This is a whole reunion.

A Message from Your Host
We created this because we needed a place to just exhale.
Not a conference. Not a retreat with rules.
A space where we could dance, rest, laugh, and be our full selves — outside.
If life’s been heavy or fast, this weekend might be exactly what your spirit’s been asking for.
– Jocelyn, Co-host of Melanated Campout
