For four days (three nights), 150+ women gather to disconnect from the busy-ness of life’s business and PLAY with other awesome people and a dozen of some of the world’s best experts, in every area of growth.
These retreats unite women* from all walks of life (many who would never in a million years have crossed paths) at top-notch kids’ summer camps for each long weekend of absolute wonderment.
*All who identify with the feminine experience
Campers ages 21-80 learn, connect and grow, in the spirit of the campfire. Together we become a new and unique extension of an intergenerational, purpose-driven community of women who are bold enough to show up for themselves and for each other.
Like at kids’ summer camp, we facilitate authentic connections at the edge of the comfort zone, where our campers can lean into the safe haven and get real. Campowerment features programming that will re-ignite your life by helping you see life through a new lens and provide tangible takeaways to support your leap from who you are to who you want to be, starting now.
*Private rooms may be available by request

Re-ignite your life in the space where dreams take off
Campowerment’s camp retreats for women take residence at sleepaway camp locales across the country (before/after the kids head home!). We sleep in shared cabins* for some earth-shaking pillow talk and belly laughter.
The weekend schedule features holistic programming that rides from peaks of adventure and unexpected fun, to valleys of deep-diving conversations, meant to highlight the shared experiences of womanhood today.
At each retreat, we integrate experts — TED Talkers, best-selling authors, James Beard Award-winning chefs, TV personalities, and a rotating panel of thought leaders who share their wisdom in their sessions, then compete in relay races alongside you.
We do arts & crafts, awesome workouts, archery, yoga, meditation, competitive games (yes; pie eating is a sport), karaoke, campfires, dance parties, hikes and s’more.
