Sleep Away Camp
WHY WILDERNESS AWAKENING?
Wilderness Awakening offers two annual sleep-away camps on our rural campus, Samsara Ridge, just north of St. Croix Falls, WI. Jump into our fifth year of camps on 44 acres of luxurious private land with hills, meadows, forest, sweet loving earth medicines of plants, birds, the elements, a rushing creek and peaceful pond to contemplate, restore and revitalize.
We have two lotus belle tents to house campers and counselors. Together we’ll prepare and cook our meals, fall asleep to the call of the owl, and be surrounded by the rich wildlife of the St. Croix river valley. Activities include hiking, building, playing in water, creating, singing and more!

“Devon loved her week of summer camp! It was a special and magical experience in an amazing setting and she wants to go back every summer. She loved the campfire stories, hiking and learning about edible plants, and sewing. The girls in the group really connected which made it even more special. Julia and the other camp counselors were very kind and attentive. Devon would recommend the camp to anyone who loves nature and she's excited to camp again this summer! Thank you for the wonderful experience and memories!”
