It can be hard to feel nourished, present and connected in our everyday lives.

And many of us feel the disconnection and loneliness of our fast-paced, device-oriented and productivity-centered society.

But we don’t have to live this way. Connection and community is available—and this is what we are committed to creating together every year at Community Camping Experience!

Registration is limited—register now!

Family Camp is a seven-day immersion in community and play!

Family Camp is an annual community retreat. It is more than a traditional camping experience with friends and family, it is a seven-day immersion in community that has been thriving for two decades.

The week we spend together is an opportunity to create a dynamic and supportive environment that removes many of the external distractions in our lives, allowing us to unplug, restore and connect more deeply to ourselves, our families, and each other. For these seven days, we live in a consciously created community centered around the core values of exploration, connection, integrity, interdependence and play. We emerge from these seven days together ready to boldly live these values in our everyday lives.

At Family Camp, we expand our experience of ourselves and one another through various activities and events including: authentic conversation, art, workshops, music, sports, swimming, yoga, skit night, drumming, dancing, meditation, sacred circles, theater, healing arts, hiking, volleyball, laughter, amazing food and lots of celebration. Everything about our experience will be generated and enjoyed and held in community. Needless to say, this is a unique and extraordinary experience.

The Theme for 2024 is: Welcome Home

Welcome home.

Welcome home to yourself. Welcome home to the redwoods. Welcome home to a loving community of old friends and soon-to-be friends. Welcome home to this moment. 

This is the theme for Family Camp, 2024. For those who have never attended, you are welcome. To those who haven’t attended in a few years, welcome back. 

Welcome, the growth-oriented, love-oriented people who want to play.
Welcome, the authentic relators, who like to go slow…
Welcome, those who long for nature—the smell of the trees, and the sunlight through your tent and the sound of birds to wake you in the morning.
Welcome, the tired and the hunched-over-a-laptop masses, yearning to breathe free.
Welcome singles and families! Babies and toddlers, grown children and growing parents—whatever “family” means to you.

Whoever you are, we welcome you into loving connection July 13-20th, 2024.
