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, singing, 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.

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

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 Family Camp!

Registration is limited- register now to secure your spot!

The Theme for 2025 is: Live in Love.

The time we spend together is an opportunity to practice loving what is present in our lives. How can we live life open-hearted, with a sense of care and affection for ourselves, nature, and our community? What would it mean to let love guide us in everything we think, feel, and do? How would it feel to intentionally act with love and release fear? This week is a chance to focus on welcoming love without many of the external distractions in our lives.

What is alive in you that you would like to bring to camp to be felt, to be loved, to be welcomed, to be integrated? What does it mean to Live in Love in your life?

Whether you’re joining us for the first time, or have been with us since the beginning in Santa Barbara (23 years ago!) we welcome you into loving connection July 12th-19th, 2025.
