Pack your baggage for a long weekend away from your daily commitments at a truly magical retreat center on Whidbey Island. Take up space, be mad, be sad, express that rage you’ve been carrying around. Crying is not required at Cry Camp, but the more tears, the more merit badges…just sayin’.
Structured loosely around the format of summer camp, together we’ll explore the power of community (yes, even you introverts will have a place!), the magic of being in nature, the impact of creativity, and some emotional science-y things that we think are pretty cool.
Let it all out: Cry camp will host 15 campers and 2 cry counselors for a 3 night/ 3 day weekend on Whidbey Island in Washington State. We are taking you back to the glory days of summer camp while creating a magical space to explore the deepest parts of being an emotional being. We'll laugh, we'll cry, and we'll do it all here:
Camp will be co-hosted by Therapy Godmothers and all tickets and information will be sold there. Use the buttons to continue learning more about camp!
***Cry Camp 2021 is for those who are female and are essential workers in mental health, social work, chaplaincy, nursing, and other healing arts professions. If you are not a part of these 2 identities at this time, hold tight! We hope to have experiences for you in the year to come. For now - hug a therapist or a nurse who means something to you and tell them they're doing a good job.

Cry Camp will be held at the glorious Whidbey Institute on Whidbey Island.
Getting to Whidbey Island is an easy 15-minute ferry ride from the landing in Mukilteo. Once you arrive on the island in Clinton, driving to the Institute only takes about 15 minutes! Please let us know if you’d like to chat with other Cry Campers about potentially carpooling. Because a lot of our time together in February will be indoors, it is a requirement of our host camp that only fully vaccinated Campers attend. Accommodations for Cry Camp are in the Farmhouse, Grannies, and several solo cabins. All campers will have individuals beds and rooms for extra quiet time, and extra precautions against COVID. All bedding and linens are provided for your weekend, but please bring your coziest blanket, favorite teddy bear or your life saving pillow to make it feel even better. Meals will be made on site with love in the Emotional Mess Hall by Chef Kristen. All of your food preferences and allergies are tended to and you’ll enjoy some of the most delicious meals you’ve ever had. We swear! 9 meals are included in the ticket price, and food is sourced from the land itself, and local Whidbey Farmers. This isn't the sloppy joes and macaroni you remember. We promise these meals will be one of your favorite memories from camp! Maximum capacity for Cry Camp February 2022 is capped at 15 campers, so snag your bed now and start the process of releasing some of that sorrow and anger we know you’ve been holding onto. We truly believe that laughter can be some of the best medicine, so bring some stretchy pants (and a panty liner) because we’re about to laugh until we cry…or is the other way around? Come find out! |
