Aunties Outside...Rooted & Rested Campout
A gentle weekend campout for Black women to rest, reconnect, and experience joy in community and nature.
There’s a particular kind of magic that happens when aunties gather in the woods — the laughter that rolls easily, the stories that stretch into the night, the softness that settles over everyone like a blanket. The Rooted & Rested Campout is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with nature in the company of Black women who make every space feel like home.
Come for the rest. Stay for the sisterhood. Leave feeling renewed.
🌿 WHAT TO EXPECT
- Fireside conversations that feel like exhaling
- Nature’s quiet reset — long walks, still mornings, unhurried moments
- Community care, affirmation, and shared joy
- A soft, restorative reset in the flow of your 2026 outdoor season
- No code‑switching. No capes. No need to “show up strong.”
Just come as you are — soft, tired, curious, joyful, or somewhere in between.
✨ WHO THIS IS FOR
This experience is for Black women seeking rest, connection, and a soft landing in nature. Whether you’re brand‑new to camping or returning for another season, you’re welcome here. No experience needed — just a willingness to slow down and let the forest hold you.
🎒 WHAT TO BRING
Not sure what to pack? We’ve got you.
You’ll receive our full packing list, plus an optional pre‑trip info session covering gear basics, safety, and what to expect — perfect for first‑time campers or anyone who wants a refresher.
Need gear? Tent and cot rentals are available to help reduce costs. Just let us know during registration.
Bottom line: you don’t need to have it all together. You just need to show up. We’ll support you from there.
🔥 A SOFT-LIFE WEEKEND, OUTSIDE!
Join us for a weekend of warmth, grounding, and joy — auntie style.
Your spot by the fire is waiting.
