The Reunion: Adult Summer Camp, October 2026
Coming back together for the very first time.
In 2013, with some dear friends, we created Camp Grounded, a summer camp for adults where time and time again, “campers” were able to reconnect to childlike joy, playful authenticity and profound community connection. It’s thirteen years later and that camp magic is needed more than ever … so we’re creating a space for EVERYONE to come together again!
Let’s escape the stress of adult life and the “doom” in our feeds, to find connection with each other and nourish ourselves in nature.
The Reunion is for anyone who wants to go back to a time when it seemed easier to be yourself and be with friends, old and new. When boredom led to adventure and playing outside was a given.
That time can feel impossibly far away … but it’s not, and we’re going back!
Whether you attended Camp Grounded, always wanted to go, miss your old camp, or are just nostalgic for a better time, this Reunion is for YOU. You’re invited to come back (for the first time).

The Reunion is a co-created event where we do the heavy lifting: the venue, the meals, the gathering spaces, and everything that keeps camp running.
You bring the magic. Whether it’s a sunrise yoga session, teaching your friends how to do tie dye, or a creative offering we never could have anticipated. Campers make The Reunion what it is.
Programming submissions and grant applications will be available after registration.
Field games, relay races, dance-offs, and scavenger hunts. Teams compete. Glory is earned.
A long-table feast under the redwoods. When friends feel like family, a family dinner is required. Toasts encouraged.
The legendary campfire talent show. Sing, dance, tell a joke, read a poem, surprise us all.
Three channels. Redwood dance floor. Pick your frequency.
Belt it out under the stars. No judgement, just joy. Duets especially welcome.
A quiet corner for conversation, connection, and a warm cup. Open all hours.
Teach someone a special skill or craft. Share your passion for a specific thing. Create community around shared interests.
Embellish the space with your imagination. Previous incarnations have included Human Powered Search, Inboxes, and Typewriter Range.
Let your creativity soar! It’s up to everyone to elevate The Reunion from a really fun hang to a magical experience.
The Reunion takes place at Camp Navarro, a 200-acre redwood property in Mendocino County, about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco and 11 miles from the coast.
Included in ticket price:
Available for upgrades with ticket purchase:
Full bathhouses with hot water showers are a short walk from all cabins and camping areas — available to everyone.

Every camp has its ways. Here are ours.
When you arrive, claim a camp name, maybe one from childhood, maybe something brand new. A nickname lets you loosen your grip on who you’re supposed to be and remember who you’ve always been.
Nobody here cares about your inbox. Leave job titles, networking energy, and “what do you do?” at home. Bring who you are, not what you produce.
No watches. No alarms. No checking the hour. From seconds to minutes to months to years we’re letting go of the hold time has on us. We keep time by bells, we move by intuition, and we don’t share our age so we can act how we feel.
This is a screen-free gathering. No phones, no laptops, no smart watches, no sneaky scrolling. Look up. Make eye contact. Be here.
This is a sober-centered event. We are excited about the presence and connection that can be created in sober spaces. Let’s all honor the uniqueness of an experience without drugs or alcohol and take care of those of us in our community who only feel safe in those spaces.
