Camp Social or Rise Gatherings

There are more ways than ever for women to retreat for a weekend, meet new people, and spend a few days somewhere beautiful. But not every retreat is designed for the same kind of experience.

So which should you choose?

The Difference in a Nutshell

Camp Social is for women who want an adult summer-camp experience.

Think big groups, nostalgic camp activities, high-energy social events, and the excitement of meeting a lot of new people at once.

Rise is for women who want an experience that feels like meaningful time away with opportunities to meet people, try new things, and have conversations that go deeper than "So what do you do for work?"

It's less about recreating camp and more giving yourself the time, experiences, and connections that can support you long after the weekend ends.

Choose Camp Social If...

You want to go all in on the camp experience.

You like the idea of arriving somewhere you've never been, meeting hundreds of other women, sleeping in a bunkhouse, and spending the weekend doing things you probably haven't done since you were twelve.

You're looking for:

• A large, energetic crowd

• Nostalgic summer-camp activities

• Lots of organized group events

• Parties and evening socializing

• The excitement of meeting a huge number of new people

• A weekend that feels intentionally different from normal adult life

If the idea of tie-dye, archery, camp games, and a pajama dance party makes you want to clear your calendar immediately, Camp Social may be your kind of weekend.

Choose Rise Gatherings If...

• You want to meet inspiring women without feeling like you have to be "on" all weekend
• You've spent years taking care of everyone else and realize you don't actually remember the last time you had a weekend that was entirely your own
• You're craving new friendships, but the idea of walking into a giant social event and immediately having to make friends sounds exhausting
• You want to try yoga, make something with your hands, spend time outside, have a great conversation over a meal, and then disappear to your room for an hour because you're an adult who enjoys alone time

That's Rise.

You don't need to know anyone. A lot of women arrive at Rise wondering the same thing:

“What if I come alone and don't know anybody?”

That's part of the reason the retreat is structured the way it is. With 40+ workshops and experiences happening throughout the weekend, there are natural opportunities to meet people without having to manufacture conversation at a cocktail party or walk up to a stranger and introduce yourself.

You can take a class together.

Go for a walk.

Make something.

Sit around a table.

Laugh about something ridiculous.

And suddenly, you're not strangers anymore.

You don't have to choose between connection and downtime.

Rise isn't a three-day schedule of back-to-back activities designed to keep you entertained from breakfast until bedtime. You get to decide what your retreat looks like.

And you don't have to fit a certain version of "wellness."You don't need to be a yoga person. You don't need to meditate every morning. You don't need to own linen pants.

Rise brings together women with different interests, backgrounds, ages, and reasons for coming, united mostly by the fact that they're seeking deeper connection to themselves and within community.

There is no expectation that you have to become a new person by Sunday. You can just be yourself.

So... Which One?

If you're looking for adult summer camp, Camp Social is probably the better fit.

If you're looking for a retreat to reconnect with yourself and other women in a way that feels natural, comfortable, and genuinely fun, we'd love to see you at Rise.

Because sometimes what you're really looking for isn't another event.

It's a place where you can arrive as you are, meet people you actually like, and leave feeling a little more like yourself.

That's what Rise is all about ❤️‍🔥
