Life at camp
For four days, we invite you to come as you are – let go of the pursuit & the striving that can pull you away from your true vibrancy and sense of freedom. We’ll provide daily activities including: workshops like yoga & writing, morning practices like meditation & breathwork, evening events like camp fires & singalongs. The campgrounds also include kayaks and canoes!
WORKSHOPS
Stay tuned for our 2017 workshop line-up!
Connection Camp brings you a stellar team of teachers to support and guide you in deep play, exploration, and expansion. Each morning starts off with a round of offerings in mindfulness and wellness to launch your day from a grounded and open place. Meditation, yoga, and breathwork will be included among the morning practice offerings. And throughout your days, you’ll have a diverse choice of workshops, including dance, arts and crafts, authentic relating games, Circling (relational meditation), partner yoga, the lost art of letter writing, collaborative music and movement playshops, and more! Each day will offer two to four workshop slots with multiple selections at each time, so you’re sure to find options that speak to your heart!

Bonfire
We’ll dance our booties off with DJ Srikalogy followed, of course, by a bonfire.

We’ll wrap up the night with another bonfire plus you’ll have the chance to strut your stuff in our camp Talent Show MC’d by the incredible Rachel Santos. Read poetry, sing, dance, clown-it-up, play an instrument or tell us a story.
Free time
Your time at Connection Camp is just that – your time. Although we have a schedule chock-full of workshops and playtime ready for you, we encourage you to truly choose your own adventure. During unscheduled time – or at any ol’ time at all – feel free to step away from the camp programming and take advantage of the beautiful natural landscape and campground resources. Enjoy a hike along the private wooded trails. Kick off those shoes and relax lakeside. Get your mitts on the sporting equipment offered on-site and delight your inner kid with a game of catch, or position yourself as Connection Camp’s first dodgeball baron. Park yourself on a cabin porch and sing along with the birds. Connection Camp seeks to offer you as much opportunity to connect inwardly with yourself and with nature as you do with your campmates.
Camp marketplace
We love makers, creators, and mindful businesses, so we brought some of them to share their wares with you! The Camp Marketplace provides an opportunity to explore your personal connection to money in a thoughtful way, or to just find a sweet souvenir, snag a gift for your new bunk buddy, or take a piece of Connection Camp home to share the joy with your loved ones!

Healing Pavillion
Connection Camp’s Healing Pavilion will provide an oasis for self-care within your larger camp experience. We will be hosting a variety of leading health and wellness professionals – massage, chiropractic, energy work, and more – on site to provide complimentary mini-consultations and allow you to explore new modalities for supporting your total wellbeing. Many practitioners will also be providing full services on site, if you wish to book a session during your stay (at an additional cost).
Please note that schedules and rates for full service sessions, both on-site and for future appointments, are determined by the individual practitioners.

Rules
Connection Camp isn’t big on rules – in fact, we want this experience to be a playground for exploring and maybe breaking your rules, expectations, and assumptions about how you relate to yourself and others – but some rules will help everyone involved have the best possible shared experience.
That said, please note…
