Camp Ollie Lou Camp Ollie Lou

Our Mission

We connect people to nature. We recognize that we are living in an increasingly stressful world, and the research is clear: being in nature restores our mental health and helps us cultivate emotional resilience and psychological growth.

Our Values

Sustainability and Stewardship: We strive to operate our business in an environmentally responsible manner, including working with local businesses whenever possible to reduce our ecological footprint, seeking out ethically sourced materials, and adopting renewable energy practices. We are committed to the preservation of nature for future generations.

Inclusivity and Accessibility: Because we believe everyone deserves a safe greenspace for exploring, we are committed to making Camp Ollie Lou welcoming to people of all abilities, sizes, races, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, gender identities, and more. We recognize that this is an aspirational value and continue to work to make this Camp Ollie Lou’s reality. We are committed to learning by soliciting feedback from stakeholders.

Collaboration and Community: To achieve our mission to connect people to nature, we seek to connect with organizations whose missions and values are aligned with our own. We work to build a network of like-minded folks who are as passionate about the intersection of nature and mental health as we are.

Upcoming Retreats

Inner Critic Retreat

Hosted by Dr. Amanda Wetegrove-Romine, Licensed Psychologist
TBA 2024
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Our inner critic loves to point out our flaws, question our abilities, and highlight our mistakes. While self-reflection and a willingness to analyze our past can be helpful for high-achieving and ambitious women seeking to reach their full potential, an overactive inner critic wreaks havoc on our self-esteem and keeps us playing small and saying no to opportunities.

At this day retreat, you’ll learn strategies to conquer your inner critic by reframing the stories she has been telling you for years. You’ll learn how to unleash your inner explorer, a voice that is curious and compassionate and willing to take healthy risks. You’ll build the toolkit necessary to continue nurturing your inner explorer and giving her the space she needs to grow. Give yourself permission to embrace imperfection and find a sense of freedom and self-acceptance you never thought possible!

Included in the retreat:

  • Mental Health First Aid Kit
  • “Grounding in Nature” yoga session
  • Evidence-based strategies for quieting your inner critic
  • “Unleash Your Inner Explorer” guided hike
  • “Building Self-Compassion” journaling activity
  • Mandala art activity
  • Nourishing lunch and snacks
