4 Day Self Care Summer Camp: Women's Wellness Retreat in Eastern Ontario, Canada

Born out of a desire to create more space for calm, connection, and playfulness— Calm Down Club's Self-Care Summer Camp is here! A transformative sanctuary set in a serene natural landscape, where women gather to embrace their well-being and deep, genuine communion with others. This encompassing experience is dedicated to fostering a supportive sisterhood through various mindfulness practices, skincare rituals, guided movement, creative workshops, and enlightening group discussions.

Experience complete nourishment of mind, body and soul. This is an opportunity to become empowered to truly love the skin you’re in. We have an innate ability to heal and thrive when mental and physical well-being are aligned. Immerse yourself in true relaxation in a holistic way, revealing the powerful tools you have to regulate your nervous system within you already. Leave feeling radiant and fresh while looking and feeling like the best version of yourself— naturally.

Throughout this retreat, you’ll build lasting connections with like-minded women who share your commitment to wellness and self-discovery. Calm Down Club encourages a safe space to practice vulnerability and explore inner landscapes more deeply. Share stories, laughter, and support as you cultivate friendships that uplift and inspire one another.

When women gather, it is pure magic. Many come to the retreat solo and leave with new friends that they’ll cherish for a long time. It’s an absolute delight to witness the meaningful connections that develop throughout your powerful time together.

This is for you if:

• You want to create special moments with women this summer. Moving, breathing, creating, laughing, talking, eating, swimming, playing, resting, and just being together.
• You want to start putting yourself first. You care a lot for others and know how important it is to put that same care back into yourself.
• You would like to be more intentional. Life gets busy, and you get distracted, but what if you could press pause and come back to the present moment?
• You have a desire to nourish your mind, body, and soul, and you want to receive inspiration and motivation to continue nourishing yourself back home.
• You want to feel that it’s okay to rest. Hustle culture is real, and often, productivity is on the mind when we should be resting. This retreat celebrates honouring our need for true rest.
• You crave a chance to get creative. You know how good it feels to get back to your innate creativity and playful attitude.
• You would like to get in touch with nature. This landscape is truly magical, and you will be in awe of the beauty and thoughtfulness in this natural environment.
• You are curious about new ways of approaching beauty and self-care. Whether you’re sprawled out in the comfy living room, in the glass box dining area, on your mat, around the fire, or any of the other magical nooks you find yourself this weekend, thought-provoking conversations that stir up new ways of perceiving ourselves and others are had.
