The Reunion: Adult Summer Camp, October 2026
Coming back together for the very first time.
The Reunion is a Family Reunion themed co-created summer camp for grown ups where “cousins and kin” reconnect to share in childlike joy, playful authenticity and profound community connection in the majestic California Redwoods!
Like Grandma says, life is better when we make time together. The Reunion sets aside some of the usual distractions—alcohol, technology, and work talk—so we can create a welcoming community where belonging comes naturally and fun is RELATIVE.
Grandma has called for a Reunion and when Grandma calls . . . we answer! She says that she has a big announcement that will affect every branch of the family and we all can’t stop wondering what’s going to happen.
The Reunion is a Co-Created Event where our programming and community is strengthened by incorporating the talents and contributions of everyone participating. It’s always a blast when the family gets together because every single one of us has something special to share. Whether it’s teaching a craft, leading a group, creating an experience, helping out behind the scenes or starring in the Family Talent Show . . . The Reunion is unique and special because of what we all bring to it!
So gather your cousins (aka friends or real family), get your tickets, call dibs on a bed, and join the family for a truly unforgettable weekend together.
Mom & Dad
Mom and Dad have almost everything taken care of: the venue, the meals, the main events, and all the little details that keep The Reunion 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. Family participation makes The Reunion what it is.
Programming submissions and grant applications will be available after registration.
An all out battle of wills and wits between the birth orders. Oldest, Middles, Youngest and “Onlys” compete to be Grandma’s Favorite! Finally you can prove your sibling supremacy!
Led by our favorite aunts Stoked, Artemis and Prow Prow, we’ll slow down, go deep and get Grounded together.
“All Covers” live band concert! 3-Way Silent Disco movie fort! Late night pillow fight! Put on your favorite onesie or jammies and never go to bed!
Hosted by Grandma herself! The most encouraging and supportive space to share your gifts. Sing, dance, tell a joke, read a poem, surprise us all… surprise yourself!
A quiet corner for conversation and connection over a warm pot of tea. Open all hours.
Don’t Wake Grandma Silent Disco, Campfire Karaoke, Even More Surprises!
Featuring our Family Band
Rainbow Girls have been an integral part of the soundtrack of the Bay Area over the last 10+ years. You’ll find them around campfires, joining in spontaneous moments, singing us to sleep and rocking our minds at the Slumber Party!
Teach someone a special skill or craft. Share your passion for a specific thing. Create community around shared interests.
Create an installation, activation or experience. They can be physical spaces that are up for the whole weekend or “spontaneous” moments that no one sees coming.
You’ve heard Uncle Ted talk, but nothing like this! Prepare your own 3-4 minute lightning talk, but no screens and you have to wear a chicken costume.
Small group facilitators who help foster community and look after their “Branch of the Family”.
Be part of a team that is helping make The Reunion happen. Help set up, break down, or take responsibility for a function of the weekend. This is great for our family members who would always rather have a role!
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.

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 family has its ways. Here are ours.
When you arrive, claim a nickname, maybe one from childhood, maybe something brand new. In this family you get to define who you want to be. A nickname lets you loosen your grip on how the outside world sees you and reminds you of who you’ve always been.
Grandma doesn’t care about your job, she wants you, not your title. Leave the networking energy and “what do you do?” at the office. Bring who you are, not what you produce.
What’s the rush!?! We’re all here and we’re not leaving anytime soon. Take off your watch and relax into the flow of The Reunion. When you hear a bell it’s time for something new. If you don’t hear the bell . . . keep doing what you’re doing.
This is a screen-free gathering. No phones, no laptops, no smart watches, no cheating! Look up. Make eye contact. Say hello.
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.
