Friendship, Recreation, and a Sense of Community

Registration for MRC 2019 is now closed. Thank you to everyone who registered, we cant wait to see all of you there!

Mountain Respite Camp (MRC) is a peer-led camp for individuals living with or affected by mental illness. MRC serves residents of Southern California.

The 2019 session is scheduled for August 22 – 25.

Nature

Clean air, perfect weather, lots to do, and “interesting” people to meet. A break from the noise of the city, this peer-led community travels to Angelus Oaks, California for a weekend excursion in nature.

Friendship

Camp is intended as both an escape from the challenges of living with a psychiatric disability and an opportunity to bond with people who are strangers yet know intimately what everyone else is going through.

Community

This is a place where a person can let down their guard and just be themselves; for some it will be the light at the end of a dark, scary road. At the Mountain Respite Camp, participants can hike, swim, craft, walk tightropes, and build campfires – all in a communal atmosphere, surrounded by the peace of nature and grace of friends.

Being given this chance to decompress and take a “vacation from mental illness” aids in the wellbeing of anyone with psychiatric challenges.

August 22 - 25 - $190 per person

Price includes transportation, food, and accommodation

This camp is available to providers, consumers, family members, and all friends of the mental health community.
