Pause in the Pines
women's camping retreat
Step away from your everyday routine and immerse yourself in a weekend of rest, connection, and nature. Pause in the Pines is a women’s camping retreat designed to help you slow down, savor the moment, and soak in the beauty of the outdoors.
Whether you are seeking quiet reflection under the trees, laughter around the campfire, or new adventures on the water, this weekend is your invitation to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with others.
Kids’ Nature Classes
Growing curiosity and connection from birth through age 10
Discover the joy of learning and playing outdoors with Longleaf Learning Collective. Our Seeds, Sprouts, and Saplings classes invite children from infancy through elementary school to explore nature with curiosity and wonder.
Each class blends hands-on activities, storytelling, and outdoor discovery, while building community among families. Together, we create a rhythm of learning that grows with your child, nurturing confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for the natural world.
Ground & Grow
where peace and play take root
Ground & Grow is a gentle and joyful class that invites children and their caregivers to slow down, connect with nature, and explore mindful movement side by side. We’ll blend yoga, nature play, creative expression, and seasonal rhythms to support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and connection.
Whether you're stretching under the pines or listening to your breath beside a stream, Ground & Grow offers a chance for you and your child to recharge together.
