Mom Adventure Camp: Lake of the Woods

Request to Join

A 3-day outdoor camp experience for moms and kids at Lake of the Woods, June 2026.

Mom Adventure Camp is our most relaxed, playful offering—
a return to the kind of days that feel open, outdoorsy, and full of possibility.

Set in a beautiful natural campground, this experience is intentionally low-key while still thoughtfully supported. It’s not about structure or perfection—it’s about creating space for real moments to unfold.

Kids roam, create, and play.
Moms rest, connect, and breathe.

Everyone becomes fast friends.

And somewhere in between, something shifts.

What to Expect

Days at camp are simple and full in the best way.

Mornings begin slowly—coffee in hand, kids already off exploring.
There’s space for yoga, or not. Space to join in, or hang back.

Throughout the day, moms+kids can move between crafts, nature play, and open exploration.

Afternoons stretch out with lake time, snacks, and unstructured play.
Evenings bring shared meals, connection, and that unmistakable feeling of being outside together.

No rigid schedule.
Just a gentle flow that makes everything feel easier.

Who this is for

This is for the mom who wants something different.

You love being with your kids—but you’re tired of holding all the logistics. You want space to breathe, to connect, to actually enjoy this season instead of managing it.

You don’t need luxury. You want something real. Thoughtful. Beautiful in a simple, grounded way.

You’re drawn to slow mornings, time outside, and the kind of experiences your kids will remember.

You want your children to run freely, make new friends, and fall asleep tired in the best way—while you feel rested, supported, and more like yourself again.

If that sounds like you, you’ll feel at home here.

Accommodations

This is a bring-your-own-camp experience.

Each family creates their own cozy home base in our spacious, reserved group site—whether that’s a tent, camper van, or RV. You’re free to keep it simple or make it as comfortable as you’d like. Please note that the site is designated as “nonelectric” and RV hookups are not available. There is space for a total of four RVs.

We’ll take care of everything else.

Shared spaces are thoughtfully set up and ready for you—hammocks in the trees, gathering areas, meals prepared, and a beautiful environment designed to feel welcoming from the moment you arrive.

If you’re newer to camping, don’t worry—we’ll provide a detailed packing list and guidance to help you feel fully prepared.

Day One

Arrive & Meet

You’ll arrive in the afternoon, get settled into your space, and have time to explore the grounds at your own pace. Kids can start to roam and play, while you take a breath and begin to unwind from the rhythm of everyday life. At Mom Adventure Camp, you’ll find that extra hands are always available to help.

We’ll gather for a casual welcome—nothing formal, just a chance to meet the other families and get a feel for the days ahead.

Dinner is simple, nourishing, and taken care of.
Afterward, the evening is yours—quiet conversations, early bedtimes, s’mores by the fire or a walk by the water as the light fades.

No expectations. Just a gentle beginning.

The morning starts slowly—coffee, breakfast, and a soft entry into the day. An optional yoga session is available if you’d like to move your body, or you can simply ease into the morning in whatever way feels good.

After yoga, moms+kids have the option to enjoy nature play, crafts, and open exploration, or take space to rest, connect, or join in as much or as little as you want.

There’s no rigid schedule—just a thoughtful rhythm that makes the day feel full without ever feeling rushed.

In the afternoon, expect lake time, snacks, an optional hike, and long stretches of unstructured play.

In the evening, we’ll come together for a special shared dinner—an opportunity to slow down, enjoy a beautiful meal, and connect as a group.

Day Three

Slow morning departure.

The final morning is intentionally unhurried.

Wake up slowly, enjoy breakfast, and soak in a few last moments—whether that’s another walk, one more cup of coffee, or watching your kids play with their new friends.

There’s no rush to pack up or leave immediately. We create space for a gentle close, so you can leave feeling grounded rather than abrupt.

You’ll head home with tired, happy kids—and a sense of having truly stepped out of the noise for a few days.

Meet Your Hosts

Hi, I’m Kelsey—an outdoor guide at heart, an experience designer by trade, and a mom of two adventurous boys.

My love for this kind of experience started early—at summer camp in the Texas hill country—and deepened during a gap year hiking the Appalachian Trail. Since then, I’ve spent years guiding, teaching, and designing experiences rooted in connection and the outdoors.

I studied Outdoor Adventure Leadership and went on to teach Leave No Trace and outdoor leadership with the Appalachian Mountain Club. I later led the Stanford Pre-Orientation Trips (SPOT) program, where I used shared adventure to help students build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging.

Along the way, I’ve guided students internationally as a travel camp counselor with Broadreach and designed large-scale experiential events for Dutch Bros Coffee—from whitewater rafting trips to concerts and gatherings for thousands.

But the heart of it has always been the same:

Creating spaces that feel thoughtful, welcoming, and just a little bit adventurous.

This retreat is a reflection of that—designed with care, shaped by experience, and grounded in what I know so many of us need: a chance to slow down, step outside, and reconnect—with our kids, ourselves, and the natural world.

Hey There, I’m Emily, outdoor leader, educator, and community builder, and I believe the best conversations happen outside.

My path started with a degree in Outdoor Adventure Leadership and has taken me through roles centered on leadership development and experiential learning. I have led outdoor trips all over the United States and Canada with Adventure Treks and spent four years as the Associate Director of Adventure Programs at Stanford University.

Outside of that world, I have always come back to the outdoors as a grounding place. It is where I reset, reflect, and reconnect with myself and with others. Whether it is a long walk, a shared meal outside, or a full day unplugged, I am drawn to experiences that are simple, intentional, and restorative.

With this retreat space, my goal is to create something that feels both thoughtful and real, where people can step away from the noise, settle in, and leave feeling more like themselves.
