✨ Volunteers will be there to SUPPORT so you can take a break, nap, get a massage, or just breathe for a moment.
✨ We have plenty of tent spaces, including further-out options if you prefer more space and quiet away from the main camp area.
✨ Babies are welcome to be their full, rowdy selves, there’s no “shhh, be quiet” energy here.
