Season 7 | New Horizons

This year’s camp is an invitation to step beyond the familiar and into new possibilities. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be encouraged to embrace curiosity, meaningful connection, playful adventure, and personal growth.

New Horizons is all about honoring the journey that led us to this point and embracing the beauty ahead.

Connected Camping is a substance-free experience. We’ve designed this weekend to support presence, clarity, and genuine connection with yourself and those around you. We ask that campers arrive and participate in a clear, grounded state so we can collectively create a safe and intentional environment for everyone.

  • Electrolyte hydration (coconut water, liquid IV packs, watermelon juice) are highly recommended and especially if you feel dehydrated.

  • Pace yourself. Feel free to take breaks when being active at camp.

  • Bring a canteen/water bottle for water refills 

  • Pack sunscreen! We’ll be having some fun in the sun

  • Showers can also be taken in our bathroom facility to cool down if needed
