Every year, we hit pause.
We step away from the noise, pack up the crew, and head somewhere that reminds us what this is all about. Community, creativity, and a few days in nature with some of our favourite humans.
This year, Summer Camp landed in the Northern NSW hinterland, bringing together our team, brand partners, and community for a few days of connection, good food, and even better energy.
Around 50 brand partners, employees and founders came together, sharing stories, laughs, and slow moments in nature. It was the kind of Summer Camp Australia experience that leaves you feeling inspired, grounded, and a little more connected than before. Here's a recap of our annual Summer Camp 2026.
Midginbil Eco Resort: Our Home Base For Camp
Tucked away in the Northern NSW hinterland, Midginbil Eco Resort set the tone for everything that followed.
Open spaces, rolling hills, and that feeling of being completely off-grid. The kind of place where time slows down and conversations stretch a little longer.
Summer Camp has always been about stepping into nature and reconnecting, and this year was no different. It was less about schedules, more about moments. Morning coffees in the sun, long walks between activities, and that feeling of being exactly where you need to be.
As an Eco Retreat NSW destination, Midginbil gave us the perfect backdrop for a few days of creativity, rest, and community.
Feast Over Fire with Terra Firma Dining
As the sun dipped, we gathered for one of the highlights of camp, a long table dinner with Terra Firma Dining.
Cooking over open flames, sharing plates, passing food down the table. There’s something about fire cooking that brings people together in a way nothing else does.
Think slow-cooked meats, seasonal produce, and that unmistakable smell of smoke in the air. No rush, no rules. Just good food and great company.
It’s the kind of dining experience that reminds you to slow down and actually savour it, and one of the moments that made this creative retreat Australia feel so special.
Pop-Up Wine Bar with Down The Rabbit Hole Wines
Golden hour rolled straight into a pop-up wine bar moment, thanks to Down The Rabbit Hole Wines.
Glasses in hand, music playing, conversations flowing. The kind of setup that doesn’t need much explaining.
It wasn’t just about the wine, it was about the atmosphere. Barefoot on the grass, sunsets stretching out, and that easy feeling that only happens when you’re surrounded by good people.
Camp Coffee by Byron Bay Coffee Company
Mornings started the best way we know how, with strong coffee and slow starts.
Our friends at Byron Bay Coffee Company rolled in with a coffee setup that quickly became the unofficial meeting spot. First stop of the day, every day.
There’s something about camp coffee. Maybe it’s the fresh air, maybe it’s the lack of rush. Either way, it just hits different.
Camp Grounding Session with Inner States
We slowed things right down with Inner States, gathering around the campfire for a grounding session that invited everyone to pause, breathe and settle into the moment.
From there, the day flowed into a gentle nature walk and journaling session. Pens to paper, shoes in the dirt, no rush.
Sometimes all it takes is a quiet moment outside to feel a little more connected.
Pennant Flag Workshop with Dusty Pennants
Afternoons were for getting creative.
We teamed up with Dusty Pennants for a hands-on workshop where everyone designed and made their own camp flags. No rules, no pressure, just a chance to switch off and make something with your hands.
It’s always these moments that surprise us the most. People slowing down, getting into the flow, and creating something that feels personal.
Dinner with Palominos Deli Served from a Vintage Bronco
Dinner, but make it unforgettable.
Palominos Deli pulled up in the back of a vintage Ford Bronco, serving up one of the most unique dining setups of the weekend.
Epic subs, a classic car, and a crowd gathered around. It felt equal parts road trip and long lunch, exactly the kind of energy we love.
Cowboy Bar with Husk Rum
As the night rolled on, the cowboy bar opened.
Husk Distillers brought the goods, serving up cocktails that kept the energy high and the dance floor full.
It was one of those moments where everything just clicked. Music, drinks, people, and that feeling of not wanting the night to end.
Line Dancing with Cowgirls Australia
And then, the boots came out.
Cowgirls Australia took over with a line dancing session that quickly turned into one of the most fun parts of camp.
No experience needed, just a willingness to give it a go. By the end of it, everyone was in, laughing, learning, and fully leaning into it.
What Summer Camp Is Really About
On paper, it’s a few days away.
But it’s more than that.
It’s turning online friends into real-life connections. It’s slowing down long enough to actually be present. It’s sharing ideas, stories, and a whole lot of laughs along the way.
Every year, we leave feeling a little more inspired, a little more grounded, and a whole lot more connected.
That’s what Summer Camp is really about. Not just the setting, the food, or the workshops, but the feeling people leave with after spending a few days together in nature.
Massive Shoutout To Our Team!
We might be a small business with a big community, but at the heart of it all is our crew. The ones behind the scenes making it happen, showing up, getting stuck in and bringing the energy.
We’re pretty lucky to do this with a bunch of legends.
