Spring Mountain Wellness

Spring Mountain Wellness provides a space of refuge for rest, recovery, and collective resilience, shaped by mutual aid and the belief that care should not be scarce. On a peaceful mountain campus, Spring Mountain Wellness offers respite for careworkers and community caregivers as well as retreat and workshop space for networks and organizations.Our licensed resident-camp environment invites structured learning, nature-based activities, hands-on skill-building, to help participants stratagize for the future and reclaim their capacity to move forward.We aim to provide a space for peer respite, skill-sharing and healing, where burn out and exhaustion can soften, and new possibilities can take root.We believe resilience is something we build together, and we know the land can hold us while we learn to hold each other.
