Rooted in Nature Camping Trip

Rooted in Nature is a pre-conference camping retreat leading up to the California Black Farmers Conference designed to connect attendees and community members with the land, with each other, and with themselves. Through guided outdoor experiences, storytelling, community meals, wellness activities, and field day activities, participants will explore healing, resilience, and joy in nature.

This is more than a camping trip—it's a space to build community, restore balance, and deepen our relationship to land and legacy. Whether you're an experienced camper or new to the outdoors, all are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Activities include:

• Nature hikes & plant walks

• Campfire storytelling

• Art, music, & meditation circles

• Workshops & land-based teachings

• Group meals & reflection time

Dates: July 19-20, 2025
Location: Sunset State Beach, 201 Sunset Beach Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076
