Welcome Artists!

This three-day retreat invites artists of all mediums - photography, watercolor, ink, digital, or oil - to come camp on 204 acres of breathtaking Virginia landscape. Let nature be your muse as you explore rolling fields, forests, and curated artistic landmarks.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or picking up a sketchbook for the first time, you’ll find inspiration around every corner.

What to Expect

You’ll enjoy a mix of structured and self-guided creative time. Wander the land to sketch or take photos at your leisure, and join our scheduled activities to spark new ideas and connections.

Start your mornings with gentle yoga or Qigong to set a mindful tone followed by a nourishing breakfast, then dive into art sessions throughout the day. In the evenings, enjoy a healthy and filling dinner and then unwind with fellow artists around a campfire under the stars or listen to chill music in our DJ tent.

Breakfast and Dinner are included with all tickets.

Feel free to bring a bike, one-wheel, or dirt-capable scooter to explore the expansive property - there’s plenty of ground to cover and scenery to take in!
