Sunshine + Sisterhood awaits at the lake!
All About the Sunshine + Sisterhood Retreat
Welcome to our Summer Camp, a special retreat for women nestled in the heart of old Florida's natural beauty.
Here, under the large oak trees and by the side of a clear freshwater lake, is the perfect place to let loose and enjoy the simple things again. As soon as you arrive, you'll feel the stress of everyday life melt away.
Start your mornings with a cup of coffee delivered right to your cabin or teepee as the sun comes up. You might want to join a morning yoga session by the lake or take a peaceful walk along the forest trails.
This is where the fun starts, surrounded by new friends. We get into classic camp games like canoe races, tug-of-war, and crafting projects that'll make you laugh and maybe even feel a bit competitive.
It's all about relaxing, having fun, and really connecting with the people around you. As the day goes on, we offer workshops that encourage reflection and growth, all while you take a break from your phone and other devices.
Take it slow and enjoy the chance to do nothing, or get into deep conversations that tend to happen when you unplug and become fully present in the moment.
In the evenings, gather around the campfire. This is where we share stories and laughs, roast marshmallows, and have those deep talks that are rare in our everyday lives. It's a time to unwind, heal, and enjoy the slower pace of camp life.
Join us at Camp for more than just a break. It's a chance to celebrate freedom, make new friends, and rediscover the joys that daily life can overshadow. Gear up for plenty of sunshine, fun, and refreshing moments.
Come and rediscover not just the great outdoors but yourself too. Get ready for fun, traditional camp games, and memories that will last a lifetime. Welcome back to summer camp!

Accommodations
Shared Bunk House
The breezy, open bunkhouse instantly transports you to the carefree days of your youth. It's outfitted with 6 sets of adult-sized bunk beds to ignite the fun when the lights go out, whether that means trading secrets or just settling into a snug hideaway.
If you’re not quite ready to hit the hay, there’s plenty to keep your playful spirit entertained. Challenge someone to a lively round of ping pong, explore a variety of board games, or step out to take in the calming view of the lake shimmering beneath a canopy of stars.
It’s the ultimate blend of youthful joy and adult refinement.
Private Luxe Teepee
Our private accommodations are designed to give you a snug and peaceful retreat, perfect for a digital detox! Each teepee is placed close enough to foster a sense of community, yet spaced generously to ensure your privacy. While it's all part of the camping experience, we haven't compromised on comfort—expect luxurious mattresses and linens!
For that extra touch, we've equipped each teepee with fresh eucalyptus, an essential oil diffuser, a misting fan to keep you cool, and a reading light for your evening unwind.
Retreat Details

LocationThis retreat is located in Apopka, FL. For this retreat, we have reserved an entire campground to ensure peace, tranquility, and privacy. At the end of a short country road, you will arrive to see your whimsical teepee awaiting you. At night, you'll hear the crackling of a campfire while you eat s'mores before winding down for bed. In the country, you're bid goodnight by a spectacular sunset before being wrapped in a blanket of stars in the wide open sky. In the morning, you will wake to the chirping of birds and fresh coffee delivered to your own personal teepee. For our water activities, we will float down the pristine, clear waters of Rock springs where you will see an array of wild birds, otters, and even fish, as well as marine plant life. We have the luxury of disconnecting from our devices and regular lives to immerse ourselves in nature during this retreat. You're invited to embrace every gift that mother Earth has to offer, from the butterflies to the rain showers- you are gifted the lesson in it all.

What is a "No Talent, Talent Show?"A "no talent, talent show" is essentially our fun way of helping everyone at the retreat channel their inner child, share some laughs, and create lasting memories together. Talent? Not necessary! Erin and Whitney often lead the charge, with Erin usually coaxing Whitney into joining her for a playful act. Talent isn’t a necessity here, just a good spirit and willingness to have fun. We encourage costumes to add to the hilarity and enjoyment—it's all about letting loose and having a great time!

Travel Insurance SuggestionsWhile we do our best to hold our retreats rain or shine in order to offer guests the full experience of Earth's elements, we must always put safety first. With that being said, we do recommend travel insurance in the event of dangerous weather. We aim to notify our guests of cancellations at least four days in advance but also recognize that in Florida, severe weather can develop more quickly. Yoga Elements Retreats will refund 100% of what you have paid to us directly. If you book through a third party company, please be advised of their policies. We do not receive deposits from these companies until after retreats are finished, so we have no control on their decisions. January typically doesn't bring weather that poses as a threat to our retreats.

Responsible Travel updateWe love that you're here to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings, and we have a small favor to ask to keep it pristine. Please help us leave no trace that we were here. That means picking up all your trash and making sure nothing is left behind. Also, while it's tempting to get close to wildlife or feed the animals for that perfect photo op, we really need to respect their space and keep a safe distance. This helps keep both you and the animals safe and ensures that nature remains undisturbed. Thanks for helping us maintain the beauty and integrity of this special place!
