LGBTQ+ Camp Days in Baja Returns
Four sun-soaked days of queer community, creative play, and pure Baja joy.
Join us at our world-class seaside campus for our second annual LGBTQ+ gathering packed with meaningful connection, playful ritual, and restorative rest.
Camp Days is for LGBTQ+ alumni and your community – whether that’s a partner, a close friend, or someone else you love.
It’s equal parts party, pause, and perspective shift.
Make it a two-week Baja experience.
Join Evolving Your LGBTQ+ Identity & Purpose as You Age (July 6–11), then roll right into Camp Days (July 12–16).
Book both during enrolment and save 20%
Your retreat, your way.
Design each day according to your energy levels and desires:
Mindful Mornings
Start each day with sunrise movement sessions led by our Head of Mindfulness Teddi Dean. Optional, always. But worth setting an alarm for.
Enrichment & Exploration
Say yes to what speaks to you – art classes, wellness sessions, guided conversations, Spanish lessons. Or say no. Your call.
Connections & Celebrations
Coastal dinners, pizza nights in the garden, poolside conversations, sunrise happy hour. The kind of moments where you meet someone at breakfast and end up talking until after sunset.
Restore & Reflect
Sound baths, massage, swimming in the pools, meditation, or the simple act of watching the sun drop into the Pacific.
Evening Magic
Rooftop music, stargazing, or whatever the group decides sounds good that night.

In Their Words
There’s no other place that can bring the connection, peace, and satisfaction of being in community with compadres that are brought together for unique soul-centering experiences.
- Jane Felice
MEA’s Camp Days was an extraordinary blend of connection, reflection, and joy. It beautifully reinforced everything I value—wellness, purpose, and community – and felt deeply aligned with the work I’ve been doing to shape my Third Act. I’m grateful to be part of this inspiring community and a wholehearted supporter of MEA’s mission. - Patrick McCleary
I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I arrived—the ocean, the sun, gentle yoga, and the small circle of queer souls helped me feel whole again. I left lighter, recharged, and full of peace and love.
