For 4 joyful September days, 250 people gather at a traditional summer camp in Bancroft, Ontario to go on an individual and collective journey without our technology and our work in order to practice radical rest and play. Surrounded by acres of natural wonders and whimsical spaces, we explore possibilities of alternate ways of being.
Camp is a remedy in response to burnout and a resistance to the relentless cultures of productivity, domination, and oppression. Camp is for those who hunger for a respite from the clutches of technology, work, and all that vies for our precious presence.
Pleasure, healing, growth, joy, and deep connections with self and others are commonly experienced, however never a guarantee. But we can promise that everything at Camp Reset is an invitation, optional and centres justice and joy in its design.
The biggest change is that there will be two documentarians at Camp this year capturing photos and videos. We know in most of the world, this is a pretty normal thing but this is our first year documenting camp so it's a huge deal for us and maybe for you!

Camp Reset is labour of love co-created by a collective of twelve devoted volunteers who go on a one-year journey together guided by a shared purpose to be in service to our community and vision. Some have gone to Camp every year and some have never been. They explore ways of working together that are centered in care, creativity and co-everything.
