SUMMER CAMP
Bad Art Club presents…
June 13-15
Sea Ranch, CA
Summer Camp
(For Adults)
Daily grind gotcha down? This weekend is creative rehab. Reimagine summer camp classics—tent-pitching, marshmallow-roasting, fireside storytelling—while unleashing your inner creative maniac. Trust-fall into community on 80 magical acres of private land, just steps from breathtaking coastal bluffs. Forge friendships worthy of handmade bracelets, off-key singing, and spontaneous dance parties. Wake up in stunning open spaces. Fuel your body and soul with delicious food and gentle movement. Try new things and be celebrated in all of your beautiful imperfections. Remember what it feels like to play like a child, with the whole world as your sandbox.
Jules
Meet your Camp Lead,
A seasoned outdoors enthusiast and summer camp veteran, Jules welcomes you to her dream retreat—where camp classics blend with nourishing meals, nature immersion, new friendships, and terrible art-making. As the self-proclaimed Bad Art Teacher who embraces being a beginner, Jules has walked slacklines in the sky, danced with actual fire, lived outdoors for months at a time, and constantly experiments with new art forms. She has a gift for helping you embrace more of life's rich possibilities. Under her guidance, you'll rediscover play and creative freedom in ways you never expected.
Oh, and she’s bringing some of the most incredible and humble humans she knows to weave in their magic throughout the weekend.
