Mom Camp: The Camp
October 17-19, 2025
Squamish, BC
Imagine feeling rested, rejuvenated, and more present in your life.
Do you find yourself on autopilot most days? No time for you, with just enough energy to get through your basic activities? Welcome to Mom Camp: The Camp. The “OG Mom Camp,” this women’s wellness retreat is designed for moms to reconnect to themselves and their motherhood community.
Two nights away in BC’s beautiful Squamish Valley, personal development workshops, movement, delicious food and great wine, amazing people, and lots of time to fill your own cup.
No frantic rushing, no managing activities for everyone else, no obligations, no overwhelm, just time for you.
Mom Camp: The Camp will rejuvenate your spirit and re-ignite your spark.
You deserve this, mama.
The location
Mom Camp: The Camp takes place at a retreat and educational centre located on 165 hectares of ecological reserve in Paradise Valley, near Squamish, British Columbia.
Squamish is nestled between Vancouver and Whistler along the Sea to Sky corridor, one of North America’s most scenic coastal routes. Its spectacular 360-degree views range from snow-capped mountains to glacial lakes to old-growth forests to the turquoise waters of the Howe Sound fjord that look almost too good to be true.

If there was one word I would use to describe my experience at Mom Camp, it would be CONNECTION. It felt good to socialize, to connect with others and with myself. This has been missing for me for a while and it made me realize the importance of maintaining meaningful relationships.

Somatic Release Workshop: Connect to the wisdom of your body
Motherhood changes us, transforms us, and it can easily overwhelm us. Just as we begin to feel in control and understand our kids, it all changes and we are back into unknown territory. It’s an all consuming job from nap to soccer schedules, but it can also include joy and calm moments for you too!
Jenn Carlyle is a practitioner of ISTP (Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice TM). ISTP uses touch, movement, restorative yoga postures, mindfulness, breathwork and connection to release stored trauma and emotion. In this interactive session Jenn will share how ISTP helps reset your body to its natural, optimal state, enhancing your ability to navigate life’s challenges with grace.

Keeping Mom Camp Alive Back in the Real World
We’ve spent a wonderful weekend in Squamish, connecting with ourselves, other moms, and new insights and tools. We drank amazing wine, ate delicious food, attended inspiring workshops, and we put ourselves at the top of our priority list for a whole weekend! Do we really need to go back to the real world? How do we incorporate into our day-to-day lives everything we’ve gained from Mom Camp?
In this fun, high-energy session, you will create a customized “Mom Camp Take Home Recipe” with the help of your fellow campers and Professional Certified Coach, Michelle Robindell. Bring some of the best parts of camp home with you!

“The biggest thing that I took away was that recognition that I’m not in this alone. “
I just kind of forgot about myself there for a while. I used Camp as an opportunity to get together with other moms that go through the same thing, and remember who Anya is. It was just great to have the bond and the energy that we all shared together. That was that was the biggest thing that I took away – that recognition that I’m not in this alone. I’m not the only one that gets buried in school and spit up and sick kids and trying to juggle it all. I still remember who I am.
