In the years since Camp Grounded we’ve heard from more than a few folks:
So we’re creating a space for us all to come back together.
Whether you know us or not, we were there from the very beginning as some of the people who built Camp Grounded and kept it going year after year, alongside friends we love dearly.
We’ve dreamed about this for a long time, but it took a while to figure out how to make it affordable for you and sustainable to produce. The answer turned out to be simple: we take care of the bones — lodging, meals, big events, and the vibes — and you fill in the blanks with playshops, art installations, or anything your heart desires.
We’re so excited to share that we’ve reserved the weekend of Oct 8–11, 2026 at Camp Navarro (where Grounded all began) for The Reunion. This is for those of us who miss (or missed out on) the magic and joy of Camp Grounded and could really use a few days in the woods with friends new and old.

We do the heavy lifting: the venue, the meals, the gathering spaces, and everything that keeps camp 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 — campers make The Reunion what it is.
Programming submissions and grant applications will be available after registration.
Field games, relay races, dance-offs, and scavenger hunts. Teams compete. Glory is earned.
A long-table feast under the redwoods. When friends feel like family, a family dinner is required. Toasts encouraged.
The legendary campfire talent show. Sing, dance, tell a joke, read a poem, surprise us all.
Three channels. Redwood dance floor. Pick your frequency.
Belt it out under the stars. No judgement, just joy. Duets especially welcome.
A quiet corner for conversation, connection, and a warm cup. Open all hours.
Teach someone a special skill or craft. Share your passion for a specific thing. Create community around shared interests.
Embellish the space with your imagination — previous incarnations have included Human Powered Search, Inboxes, and Typewriter Range.
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.
Included in ticket price:
Available for upgrades with ticket purchase:
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included from Thursday dinner through Sunday breakfast. Dietary needs are accommodated, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and common allergies. 24-hour nitro-brewed coffee available all weekend.
Every camp has its ways. Here are ours.
When you arrive, claim a camp name — maybe one from childhood, maybe something brand new. A nickname lets you loosen your grip on who you’re supposed to be and remember who you’ve always been.
Nobody here cares about your inbox. Leave job titles, networking energy, and “what do you do?” at home. Bring who you are, not what you produce.
No watches. No alarms. No checking the hour. From seconds to minutes to months to years we’re letting go of the hold time has on us. We keep time by bells, we move by intuition, and we don’t share our age so we can act how we feel.
This is a screen-free gathering. No phones, no laptops, no smart watches, no sneaky scrolling. Look up. Make eye contact. Be here.
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.
