Camp Collective: Your Weekend Away in Upstate New York
What Could Three Days Away Do for You?
You spend a lot of time thinking about what needs to happen next: the next meeting, deadline, project, or goal.
But how often do you get a few uninterrupted days to think about what you want next?
That’s what we’re making room for at Camp Collective, an intimate women’s retreat happening November 13–15, 2026 at Vanderkamp in Cleveland, NY.
It’s three days away from the usual noise, with time to slow down, reconnect with your vision, and get clear on your next step.
Sometimes it’s hard to see the bigger picture when you’re in the thick of it. A few days away may not answer every question, but they can give you the time and perspective to think about the ones that matter.
This Is Camp Collective
Three days. Twelve women. One weekend away in Upstate New York.
Morning hikes. S’mores by the fire. Workshops. Sauna and cold plunges. Quiet time when you need it. Plenty of opportunities to connect with the women around you.
What: Camp Collective, presented by CNY Women’s Network
When: November 13–15, 2026
Where: Vanderkamp (204 County Rte 17, Bernhards Bay, NY 13028)
WHO: 12 growth-minded women (members and non-members are invited)
Your Weekend Away at Vanderkamp
Set on 850 acres of wilderness in Upstate New York, Vanderkamp gives us plenty of room to unplug.
There’s a private lake, wooded trails, cozy lodges tucked into the property, and plenty of space to explore. It feels removed from everyday life, making it the kind of place where you can settle in, spend more time outside, and enjoy having fewer places you need to be.
Your stay, meals, and weekend experiences are all included with registration. All that’s left is choosing where you’ll stay.
Choose Your Stay:

Here’s what we have planned:
Camp Collective isn’t about packing as much as possible into three days. It’s about giving yourself enough distance from everyday life to slow down, reconnect with your vision, and return to work and life with a plan.
There will be guided workshops and experiences throughout the weekend, along with plenty of time to rest, connect with others, explore, or simply be.

Give Yourself the Weekend
There will always be something else you could be doing. Camp Collective is an invitation to give yourself three days anyway.
Come spend a weekend in the woods with us. Meet new women, have conversations you’ve been needing, think about what you want next, get outside, rest, laugh, make some plans, and eat a s’more or two.
Then head home Sunday with a new perspective.
Camp Collective is intentionally limited to just 12 women. If this feels like the weekend you need, reserve your spot today.
