About The Event
To honor & celebrate Summer, the Sun, and community, we will be gathering for a vibrant five-course meal under the evergreens in the Camp Colton forest.
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a time where many traditions gather to celebrate the height of the Sun’s power. Join us as we reflect on our own inner power and brightness, and the abundance that Summer represents!
We’ll kick off the evening with a gentle walk through the forest to ground and soak in the land. The creekside bar will open for a cocktail hour where you can enjoy the sounds of the creek, before walking to Shady Grove for a five-course meal in the forest.
After dinner, guests are invited to pitch a tent in our camping area, and sleep under the stars! Feel free to upgrade to a room, yurt, or cabin if you’d like to glamp it up.

Gather:Make:Shelter creates opportunities for people experiencing houselessness and poverty to engage in collaborative, skill-building projects in creative fields, bringing houseless and housed people together to empower each other.
Gather:Make:Shelter is partnering with Stelo (our sister organization) and Camp Colton to host a summer camp for people experiencing houselessness & poverty. This will be a very special and sacred four day period, and we are excited to support them by raising funds for the camp experience through our dinner proceeds.
