The time has come to gather around the campfire once again! It’s been too long between stories, wouldn’t you say? So, let’s heed the call of the wild village and return ourselves to the rhythms of the earth. Are you ready for nature connection and wild adventure?! Ready to reweave the threads of belonging, to self, community, and the land?
Join with us for four days in beautiful bushy surroundings as we explore the wonders of the natural world, practice earth-based crafts and skills, play, rest and rekindle village life. This fire nest is smoking, the embers are a-glow and the countdown is on!!
Rediscover your inner wild.
Come alive with a vibrant community of humans.
Immerse yourself in the wonder and wisdom of nature.
Gather by the campfire and learn earth-based skills.
Watch your kids thrive in the wild.
And most importantly – help us rekindle the village fire!
As always, this is a family friendly, drug and alcohol-free event, and everyone is welcome – from the freshest joeys to the wisest elders – diversity in the forest and the village is what we’re all about!
For more details on how camp operates, prices, practicalities and the rekindled approach to a community-led camp, head to this page.
Volunteering and Support
Do you love stepping in to share your skills and lend a hand? Do you feel called to mentor our village youngsters in deepening their connection to the more-than-human-world? More than ever, we need your passion and presence to bring this camp back to life!
If you are excited to jump aboard as a mentor or member of the village support crew, please fill out an expression of interest form by July 31!

Ticket pricing
As part of dreaming into what a sustainable community-led village camp looks like we have updated the ticketing model to be simpler, clearer – and cheaper!
All tickets for program participants (adults and children) are the same price, with a lower price for joeys (children who are too young to participate in the program).
Prices for this camp are:
Adult: $430
Child 4+: $430
Joey 3: $170
Joey 0-2: $50
All tickets – including volunteer tickets and joey tickets – include a contribution towards the Village Fund. The Village Fund celebrates the diversity of our community by acknowledging that not all of us have equally abundant access to funds. While some of us are able to support the village, others – including many of the essential volunteers and mentors who make camp possible – need the village’s support to be able to gather with us and share their gifts. If this is you, and you need the support of the village, you can enter the code ‘fundme’ at checkout to have the Village Fund discount of $50 per ticket applied. For those finding themselves in a place of abundance, you can also make an additional contribution to the Village Fund at checkout 🌱
