Saturday Activities Pass
Saturday Activities Pass
1-Day Option
For those who’d rather experience the heart of the gathering without camping, we now offer a Saturday Activities Pass.
This one-day option gives you full access to all Saturday experiences, including a guided hike, morning movement and connection, meditation, creative activities, dinner, and a campfire experience, without the overnight stay.
It’s a great fit if you:
- Prefer your own lodging despite enjoying nature
- Live nearby and want a day experience
- Aren’t ready for a full weekend commitment
Price: $111 per person
Join us for a full day of connection, movement, and time in nature, then head home to rest in your own space.
Spots are limited to keep the group intimate.
