Book Babes Camping Retreat

$400.00

June 5–7 | Mount Lemmon

Unplug, unwind, and get lost in a good book surrounded by mountain air and a circle of like-minded women. Book Babes Camping Retreat is a cozy, two-night, two-day escape designed for readers who crave quiet moments, creative play, and genuine connection with nature and each other.

We’ll gather Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. to settle into camp, ease into the weekend, and let the pace slow. From there, the retreat flows with a mix of gentle group activities and choose-your-own-adventure blocks, so you can follow your energy and interests. Curl up with your current read, or jump into hands-on fun like bookmark and friendship bracelet making, games, guided restorative yoga, or a Saturday morning hike through the pines.

Evenings are all about the cozy vibes: campfire conversations, s’mores, stargazing, and sharing favorite passages and book recommendations. Think warm blankets, flickering flames, and the kind of conversations that feel easy and nourishing.

Meals are provided throughout the weekend. While we can accommodate food allergies, we’re unable to support special dietary preferences—guests with specific needs are welcome to attend and should plan to bring any additional food they require.

To keep things intimate, attendance is capped at 12 participants. Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking, and tent sharing is welcome if you’re attending with a friend.

We’ll close our time together by noon on Sunday, leaving you refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming about your next great read. This is our only book retreat of the year, so if this sounds like your kind of weekend, secure your spot now and join us on the mountain. 📚🔥🌲
