Full Weekend Group Camping

September 29th- October 1st, 2023

Deep within the heart of the Lost Woods lies a magical realm where the air is thick with temptation and the ground is alive with the energy of the Earth itself. Here, among the towering trees and blankets of wildflowers, dwell the mystical creatures of legend: nymphs, fairies, and satyrs, each one eager to welcome you into their world. As you wander through the winding paths and marvel at the twinkling lights that dance among the rustling leaves, you'll feel a sense of wonder and awe that you've never experienced before. And as you connect with the ancient magic that surrounds you, you'll feel your own spirit come alive; ready to discover all the secrets the forest has to offer. Join us and experience the comfort of human connection in a world beyond your wildest dreams. Prepare to be charmed.

After confirmation of reserving your spot(s), you will receive your welcome kit in the mail 1-2 weeks before departure that includes: An initial gift to go along with this year's theme, directions, party protocols and general information about what to expect.

We keep the capacity low to keep the intimacy of being able to meet every single person there if you so choose (including the musicians and artists), so make sure you and your friends sign up as soon as you know if you're available to ensure you're able to personally experience why this campout has changed lives for the better.

What will survive all of us is love. Are you coming?

The Guest Room

Sean Fleming & the Galaxy of Stars

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Sean Fleming's dreamy Americana-Folk sound has graced many night clubs, campfires, and music festivals over the past five years. Fleming released Glow Worms fall of 2017, which was recorded with Israel Nash in the hill country near Austin, Texas. Joey McClellan (Elle King, BQNT, Midlake) has also lended his guitar chops on a handful of the songs. Since it's release, Glow Worms has drawn comparisons to acts such as Fleet Foxes, The War On Drugs & Lord Huron. Fleming is known for his sweet falsetto, sometimes raspy tenor vocals and the raw sincere energy he delivers on stage. Fleming captures a new Californian take on Cosmic American Folk Music. Glow Worms makes for a fine traveling companion- whether you are wandering through a vacant desert or careening down the coast in the sunshine. He will be performing with his whole band

Field Division
Field Division is a psychedelic folk rock and dream pop band led by Evelyn Taylor and Nicholas Frampton. The American duo conjure up a timeless blend of classic songwriting and harmonies, inspired by the 1960’s and 70’s folk rock pioneers (like The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac). They transcend eras and genres while blending their modern influences as well (Father John Misty, Lana Del Rey) into an ethereal yet cinematic sound. After releasing their debut EP, ‘Reverie State’ in 2014, Field Division spent two years living on the road whilst recording their first full-length LP in 2018, Dark Matter Dreams (released by Bella Union). Taylor’s spellbinding vocals are complimented by Frampton’s tight harmonies and superb guitar playing, with each taking the lead on songs à la Buckingham Nicks, their chemistry weaving a path through the music and on stage.

Nick Mazza (aka Mr. Mazza)

Mr. Mazza is no stranger to the Collective. He has played several times for us including our infamous House of Freaks Halloween party. He always runs the grooviest deep house and melodic house across the dance floor and party-goers are forced to move their bodies. It's science! When he isn't playing solo, he spins music with Workhorse, a SoCal based DJ duo and you might have seen these two play at various venues around San Diego and Palm Springs. We are stoked to have him back!

DJ SWISH

DJ GIZMO/ Giorgy

Recently moved from Maryland, this new San Diego local has been looking for an outlet to share some new music and good vibes for the people of SoCal! He started DJing during the pandemic after years of going to concerts and festivals while studying and learning from inspirational DJs who paved the way. His music style ranges from wobbly dubstep to bumping house music to chill tribal bass, anything to get the dance floor moving and grooving! He considers himself a jack of all trades, like a gizmo, because he has appreciation for all types of music, regardless of genres and likes to incorporate them in his sets depending on the setting. His wide variety of music combined with his mixing skills and the positive energy that he radiates has quickly caught the attention of those around him as he navigates through the music scene in San Diego!
