Winter Family Camp – Santa Cruz

After all of the challenges of the past two years, it’s so important to welcome in 2022 as a year of connection, joy, harmony and optimism. Please join us for a sweet gathering in an amazingly beautiful location. Wander in awe among huge ancient redwood trees and gather a wide variety of colorful mushrooms that we’ll identify back at camp. Explore tide pools full of life and eat seaweed. Dig soaproot bulbs and learn how to make glue and a brush from it.   And most importantly, rediscover yourself and your friends around the campfire, laughing and telling stories, speaking from our hearts and welcoming in a beautiful new year.

• 6 Days, 7 Nights camping among the redwoods
