Who we are

Welcome to Camp Joy – Where Mindfulness Meets Magic

Camp Joy was born from a dream: to create a space where wonder and wellness live side by side. A place where you can reconnect with nature, your inner voice, and the joyful parts of yourself that sometimes get buried beneath the noise of everyday life.

Founded by Mary Reeves, a lifelong creative, connector, and curator of meaningful experiences, Camp Joy is the culmination of her mission to blend intentional living with playful magic. With years of experience designing heart-centered programs for people of all ages, Mary believes that true transformation begins when we slow down, tune in, and allow ourselves to feel joy again.

Our Mission

At Camp Joy, our mission is to create soulful, whimsical retreats that nurture the spirit, ignite creativity, and build genuine connection. Whether you're dancing under the stars, painting with watercolors in the forest, or simply sitting in silence with a cup of tea, every moment is designed with care, presence, and purpose.

We believe in:

  • The healing power of nature 🌿

  • The beauty of mindful rituals 🕯️

  • The magic of laughter and connection ✨

  • The importance of holding space for both joy and reflection 💛

This is not just a retreat. It’s a homecoming.
To your heart. Your people. Your magic.

Meet Mary

Hi, I’m Mary Reeves – founder, dreamer, and heart behind Camp Joy.

Camp Joy began as a whisper — a little voice inside me that kept saying, “What if you created a space where people could truly exhale?” A space that felt like the perfect blend of summer camp magic and soul-deep nourishment. The kind of place where you can let your guard down, connect with others, and reconnect with yourself.

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — event planner, creative director, community builder, and life enrichment leader. But at my core, I’m a gatherer. I love bringing people together in meaningful ways, creating moments that make you pause and think, “This. This is what I’ve been needing.”

Camp Joy is a reflection of everything I value: nature, creativity, laughter, connection, and sacred slowness. I wanted to build something that didn’t feel like a retreat filled with rules or rigidity — but more like a weekend away with kindred spirits, art supplies, warm mugs, and endless stargazing.

If you’ve been craving more presence, more play, and more joy…
I made this place for you. 💛
