Permission to Play: A Women’s Camp-Style Retreat

This weekend is an invitation to rest, play, and reconnect — without pressure, performance, or expectations.

Permission to Play is a relaxed, camp-style retreat for women who want time away from the noise of everyday life to laugh, create, and simply be human together. Inspired by the feeling of summer camp — but designed for adults — this gathering centers on joy, creativity, and connection in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

Over the course of the weekend, we’ll spend time playing games, creating art, building fairy houses, exploring nature, and enjoying unstructured moments of rest. There will be guided group activities like icebreakers and a playful scavenger hunt, as well as plenty of space to wander, relax, or do absolutely nothing without guilt.

Saturday evening we’ll gather around the campfire for dinner, s’mores, storytelling, and laughter. On Sunday morning, guests are invited to join an optional gentle group hike to a nearby waterfall before sharing breakfast together and closing the weekend with reflection.

Camping is optional — participants may stay overnight at the campground or return Sunday morning if they prefer. This retreat is intentionally small to keep the atmosphere welcoming, comfortable, and connected.

You don’t need to be creative, outdoorsy, or “good at relaxing” to attend. You just need to show up as you are.

This weekend is about remembering what it feels like to enjoy yourself again — without needing a reason.
