Ready to feel restored, inspired, and connected?

Join us for Swamp Camp for Grown Folks, a creative weekend at Lee Tartt Nature Preserve and Grenada Lake, where adults are invited to slow down, explore wild places, and reconnect through hands-on creative and nature-based experiences.

Led by professional Mississippi artists and experienced naturalists, campers will take part in small-group activities and guided adventures designed for all skill levels. No prior art or outdoor experience is needed—just a willingness to try, notice, and play.

Experience includes:

• Foraging and creating with found materials and natural pigments

• Examining nature with microscopes and loupes

• Good food & spirits (BYOB)

• Sleeping lakeside at Hugh White State Park                                                              

• Exploring Lee Tartt Nature Preserve and Grenada Lake

• Wandering, paddling, and relaxing

$165 / all inclusive - lodging, meals, activities

Limited to 12 adults, ages 21+

This project is supported by a grant from the Mississippi Arts Commission and is intentionally affordable.
