Camp Compost Is Unique
At Camp Compost, nestled in the glacier hills of northern Michigan, spend a weekend reconnecting with nature.
Let the crisp air and wild landscape become your classroom as you learn and share alongside like-minded adventurers.
Join us for hands-on demonstrations around soil health, gardening, food preservation, and art as well as daytime and nighttime mushroom and plant forays, guided by incredible mycologists, herbalists, and foragers.
Celebrate life and community with drum circles by the fire, and dance to live music with friends from all across the country.
Our Mission
At Camp Compost, our mission is to cultivate a deeper connection to nature through hands-on learning and community. Set in the stunning landscapes of Northern Michigan, we offer a transformative experience where adults can explore sustainable living practices like composting, gardening, mycology, herbalism, foraging, and food preservation. Our camp fosters personal growth and environmental stewardship, while celebrating creativity and self-expression with live music, art, and drum circles.
