The Golden Pond
We’ve found a basically private pond for you to disconnect, and frolic in the beautiful Minnesotan woods.
Whether you want to kayak, swim, read a book in one of the two large screened in porches, hike, hot tub, sauna or just have deep soul-nourishing chats with amazing women ~ there is plenty of space for you to BE on this property.

It’s like summer camp, but for badass, nourished women.
Bunk up with your girlies or camp outside under the stars. Our days will have a rhythm of 3 nourishing meals, and ample space for you to connect with yourselves and each other. Get ready for some fun camp activities including grounding breathwork, capture the flag, a dance party with DJ SeaShell (aka Sena), at home spa night, campfire singalongs and more!

Eat like a Queen
Get ready for three nutrient dense organic and locally sourced meals / day and NO DISHES, babe.
Our chef Nettie spent her twenties working on permaculture farms, apprenticing with herbalists, and cooking in wellness retreat centers. She studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and then went deeper into human psychology, Eastern philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She's been a private chef for the last ten years, supporting people in building a relationship with the food that they eat, not just using it for fuel.
So much yumminess made with fresh ingredients from the St. Paul farmers market. Nettie brings a presence and ease to her cooking that is so sweet to be around. It's the kind of kitchen energy that makes you want to pull up a stool and stay a while ~ and that's exactly what you'll get to do at Babe Camp!

FAQs

The lodge is in Cotton, Minnesota which is about 3 hours from MSP International Airport. We recommend flying in to MSP and carpooling up :)
-
You will be responsible for getting to the lodge, but once you are there you will not need a car. We will help facilitate carpooling with other participants.
We highly recommend sticking around a little bit if you are able. Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world and it is about 45 minutes away from Cotton. We have tons of recommendations for you for MN gems!

your fav books
journal & pens
art supplies if you want to create

There is laundry on site if needed.

August will be 50-60 at night and 75-80 during the day. Minnesota is quite humid, so we will enjoy the pond big time! We can get summertime thunderstorms, so a rain jacket might be nice. We’ll have a better sense once we get closer :)
