Swamp Camp for grown folks
Fri, Feb 20 / 5 pm – Sun, Feb 22 / 12 pm
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.
Limited to 12 adults, ages 21+
