The women behind Cookshop and The Croft Farm invite you to our first ever Camp For Grown Ups! During this 24 hour camp, you'll indulge in mindful practices, nurturing activities, and heartfelt conversations that we hope will leave you refreshed, rejuvenated, and inspired. You'll sleep in fully outfitted tents and indulge in delicious, seasonal meals provided by Cookshop's team of chefs, giving you time to relax and unwind in hammocks and conversation nooks. All you need to bring are your clothes and a good book; we’ll take care of the rest.
