FAMILY CAMP, Plain WA
hosted at The Grunewald Guild
May 13-16th, 2027
hosted by the Grunewald Guild, a tucked away artist retreat center in the Wenatchee River Valley in Washington State.
THE RETREAT
Most artist spaces are designed without the caregiver artist in mind. This retreat invites the two to co-exists, with the flexibility is built in. Come solo, if a retreat within a community of artist caregivers who will resonate deeply with those dual identities. Come with your family, if you are not ready for a long weekend away and want to share a retreat space with your closest people (partner, children and/or needed childcare support) along!
Note, the definition of family is expansive, whatever your support community looks like is welcome and included!
Community
An intentionally created space to be in community with other Mother Artists, who swim in the same duality as you.
Each day, 3hrs for time set aside for facilitated conversation and creative activities, as well as shared meals and additional invites for further collaboration between participants.
Creative Play
The weekend invites both you and your family to engage in creative PLAY! This is not a skills building workshop, but instead a chance to engage with the joy of learning something new!
Think nature inspired cyanotypes, polaroid lifts, film photography!
Geared slightly towards photography, but no pre-requisites. Any artists/creatives are more than welcome to join.
Rest
An expansive, quiet, tucked in nature location, meals made for you, an optional and flexible schedule to opt into whatever activities you’d like or take a nap in a hammock!

Common Questions
Should I bring my family?
This space is purposely designed with the flexibility for you to choose. If you are bringing your children it is recommended you also bring your partner or additional adult caregiver, so you can have the space each day to participate as an artist (3hr dedicated time a day).
What is included in the retreat price?

How do I get to the Guild?
The Guild is located in Plain, a small unincorporated community about 15 miles north of Leavenworth. You are welcome to drive to the Guild, or consider the Leavenworth Shuttle. For those flying in from Seattle, anticipate a 2-2.5hr drive. Rental cars can be organized and shared amongst participants. The Guild’s main address is 19003 River Road, Leavenworth, WA 98826.
What type of artists are encouraged to participate?
I am primarily a family photographer - the activities will be more photo focused in general but are creative activities that can be enjoyed by any artist! The retreat space offers open studios and a retreat atmosphere to give you the opportunity to bring whatever personal work you would like to spend time with.
