So what’s the Camp Sol lore?

It started with a group of my friends heading into the woods to celebrate my birthday for a weekend camping trip. What began as a simple trip, slowly became our reset; a space to unplug, reflect, laugh, cry, and come back to ourselves. Year after year, the woods restored our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Eventually, I felt a calling to share this sacred tradition with other women. Creating a space for sisterhood, reflection, and adventure.

And so, the journey began!

See What Past Campers Are Saying

  • "I had such a beautiful experience at Camp Sol. It was obvious that everything was put together with a lot of love. The women I spent time with were really down-to-earth, but also so inspiring, funny, and kind. The activities we did together helped us to bond through lots of teamwork, play, and time together in nature. If I could choose one word to describe camp it would be “nourishing” because everything nourished the soul…the food, the land, the women, everything!"

    OLIVIA

  • "Camp Sol is a great space to experience friendship and community with other women, explore nature, and unplug from your day to day responsibilities."

    KAYLA

  • Being able to surround myself in nature and laughing and singing all day and enjoying the simplicity of life with no phone connection. Everyone deserves to partake in this camping retreat at least once. I’ll be back every time

    NETANYA

  • "I felt so warmed and welcomed, cultivated amazing connections. Camp sol gave me the perfect space to explore deeper into myself and the world around me. I am extremely grateful for Sol, OG Camp Sol, and everyone involved. I do this again a million times over with you all!"

    ANEESAH

  • "Camp Sol was the highlight of my summer last year! Between the staying up late girl chatting, sitting around the fire with friends, meditating in the lake healed the little girl inside me! I laughed till my stomach hurt, had meaningful talks with the gworls and left feeling whole & seen 🫶🏽 Camp Sol has my heart & a whole year later I still can’t stop recommending it to my friends. Thank you Camp Sol for what you did to my soul, xoxo"

    NAZ

  • "All in all I enjoyed my trip! Loved the opportunity to just be with beautiful women."

    BRITTANY

  • “I walked into Camp Sol with no expectations. I knew we were camping and given the chance the disconnect yet connect with nature and other campers but this experience was and still is beyond what I could’ve imagined. From camping close to sisters, to spending time in comfortable silence, bathing in the river, eating in communion and exploring nature grounds was beyond healing. And on top of that, my reiki session, card pull and conversations with those I came close to changed the course of my mind and heart to alignment when I got home. Thank you Maya for this amazing experience which feels like a once and a life time thing. And thank you to your caring tribe for the hospitality and laughters 🫂”

    KAIA

  • "Camp Sol was one of my favorite memories of 2024. As someone new to North Carolina, it was an incredible experience meeting a community of passionate girls who shared a love for the outdoors and building connections. One of the highlights for me was gathering around the campfire each evening—laughing, reflecting, and bonding with everyone. This time spent in nature allowed me to learn more about myself and deepen my connection to the environment. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to unwind, meet amazing people, and enjoy a weekend of relaxation and meaningful connections."

    MAJANI

  • My experience at campsol was absolutely surreal. As someone who moved around a lot throughout my childhood/early adulthood I felt as if I missed out on a lot of womanly bonding & “group” events. I’ve always been extremely extroverted & sociable so campsol really let me express myself freely around likeminded individuals and be just that! We all got to connect with ourselves, each other, nature, and disconnect from the fast pace everyday flow of life. From nights under the stars, morning hikes, and afternoons under a waterfall, this was a memory I want to recreate yearly & I truly look forward to the next time we all get together 🌿☺️

    ANGEL

  • "CampSol was an otherworldly experience!! I enjoyed connecting with a community of likeminded women (who have become some of my close friends since the retreat!!!). I loved being immersed in nature and learned so much about myself during the retreat. 10 outta 10 recommendation!!!"
