About this trip
The outdoors is a place for everyone, and as a plus size, female outdoor enthusiast it has always been a place I love to explore with others!
It's hard to meet people to explore with, it can feel intimidating to make new connections with fellow adventure seekers- and sometimes we forget the outdoor community is a place full of people of different ages, sizes and abilities.
That is why I created the space for the first annual Body Positivity In The Outdoors, Seward Summer Campout. To embrace ourselves as we are, and have FUN outside.
The sunny seaside town of Seward has always captured my heart with its rugged mountain peaks, glacial fjords, and ocean full of thriving marine life. It is the perfect place for us to gather for a weekend of fun outside.
To make it easy for everyone, the cost of this trip will have the opportunity to have camping basics already covered for you!
**If you wish to bring your own tent, there is pricing available at a lower rate with limited availability**
We will be camping at the campground details will be released upon booking. There are bathrooms, and water available. With waterfront views, the harbor and "downtown" a short stroll away! Once you have reserved your spot, you will get a welcome packet with details about parking, Bear Safety, a packing list, and some optional things to do while in Seward for the weekend.
