Life is GUUd
Welcome to Camp Life is Guud! Our camp is about embracing the goodness of life and recognizing how lucky we are to be in it. As Unitarian Universalists, we are always working on finding parts of the world to heal and make a better place for us all. While we always strive for that, we want to take a week and open our eyes to what is already amazing in our world. Camp Life Is Guud encourages us all to be in the moment, and enjoy the company in the world around us. This camp is going to be jam-packed with FUUN, including spirit days, Olympics, messy hour, tie dye, swimming in the outdoor pool, exciting workshops, and so much more. Workshops and activities include yoga, music, henna, arts & crafts, spirituality, and the best part: YOU can lead your very own workshop!!! Join us for guud vibes, healing, gratitude, peace, and EXCITEMENT!!! We can’t wait to see you.
Love,
Shann & Bran
