Blamping is a luxurious wellness camping experience designed to reconnect Black and Brown communities with nature through comfort, culture, and care. Inspired by glamping, Blamping blends elevated outdoor living with intentional wellness offerings such as yoga, tai chi, massage therapy, and holistic workshops. More than just a retreat, Blamping reclaims outdoor space as a place of healing, rest, and joy—inviting guests to break down the stigma of camping while embracing the opportunity to collect, recover, and rejuvenate. 

Join the Institute of Public Scholarship, Collect & Recover Wellness, and OutFront Kalamazoo at Pretty Lake Camp on Friday, August 14 through Sunday, August 16 for this year’s Blamping retreat. Registration is open now: https://www.theipsnow.org/blamping-wellness-retreat.html#/
