Step away for a while to decompress & enjoy all that nature (and a dope group of folks) have to offer. Join us for a joyous camping experience at Browntown Farms (a black owned & operated century farm) in Browntown, VA (just south of Petersburg).

Learn about the history of the farm and steal away to quiet nooks to reflect and relax, or join in on yoga, stargazing, movie watching, a art activities, games, little kickball, fishing, tiki bar-ing, & telling tall tales over the campfire.

Family-friendly (but just know that we will be using the tiki-bar). No camping experience necessary. We have few tents to share (just ask). We will cover dinner (and condiments) on the first evening. You bring food and beverages for your party (plus a lil bit more) for the rest of the camping experience.

A suggested list of camping gear will be emailed to you upon registration.

Come camp with us and leave refreshed and rejuvenated. $20pp
