For us, fresh food is a big deal! At camp, we offer fresh food, prepared daily and suited for all dietary preferences you share in registration. For each meal – served buffet-style – there are protein options, something for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free eaters who give us the heads up to be ready for you!

Each meal is paired with a full salad bar and yummy dessert, too. Plus – in addition to meals, there are snacks and coffee/tea available throughout the full retreat.

Should you crave a highly specific addition to a meal-based diet (i.e. you are a soda drinker and don’t want to go the weekend without a daily Diet Coke), please feel free to BYO. Have questions? Reach out to us at [email protected]

Four days, three nights. Each retreat runs the course of a long weekend (Thurs-Sun or Fri-Mon), beginning ~2PM on arrival day, wrapping at ~12:30PM on departure day.

Days run from as early as the 7 o’clock hour each morning to as late as 11 p.m. each night, with a choose-your-own-adventure policy from wake up to sleep time. Early riser? Night owl? There’s programming for all. Check out a sample schedule here!

Our campers range in age from 21* to 83 (for real) and they take planes, trains & automobiles from all ends of the globe (U.S., Canada, UK, France, Australia, New Zealand). About 54% of them are repeat campers; 46% are first-timers.

Some are top Hollywood executives; others recent college grads; USPS employees; entrepreneurs; police officers; thrill-seekers; full-time moms; first-time managers; bloggers and beyond.

Actually, it’s kind of the best networking on the planet: because nobody** is allowed to say what she does for a living for the first 24 hours, so we get real personal, real quick! Will you fit in? Yes: promise.

*All campers must be 21 of age or older
**Except the experts

Absolutely! And about 20% do. When you come solo, we bunk you with the other brave souls who are doing the same, and it’s a hoot!

Your “bunk space” grants you made-up bed in a cabin alongside up to 8-12 other women. All cabins offer bunk beds, with linens and towels awaiting your arrival. All bunks have in-bunk bathrooms and electricity.

If bunking’s not your jam, we also offer the opportunity for you to upgrade to a semi-private room (with 1-2 others – your choice) for $375pp; or a private, hotel-style room with private bath for $750. Both are available during registration, and up until 1 week prior to each retreat.

Absolutely. Request bunkmates at registration, or email [email protected] to make requests up until 2 weeks prior to your retreat’s start date.

As far as attire, anything goes! We invite and encourage comfy clothes, athleisure and — oh yes — costumes for a featured night activity. We provide a packing list upon registration, and make sure to share everything you might want to have or need.

Campowerment’s sister 501(c)(3) non-profit Give Her Camp sends exemplary women to Campowerment women’s experiences on scholarship. It’s funded by the Campowerment community and open for applications/nominations all year. See more here.

Both cell service and WiFi exist, and are usually pretty good but can be spotty…and you shouldn’t need ‘em much. (Disconnection while at camp is good for the soul.)

We ask that you keep all phones on silent throughout the retreat. Use as your alarm in the morning and to tell time in the day (we’ll help), but please: no phone use in the presence of others. Your loved ones back at home can leverage [email protected] for anything they need if for any reason they can’t reach you…and should you need to dial-out but have a challenge doing so, we can hook you up with a phone to make it happen!
