Community Weaving is inviting you to 4 days & 3 nights of camping in community at Deadman Acres. Farm The 1st annual Community Weaving Camping Trip is an opportunity for us to re-village; to come together with all walks of life to live, play, adventure and co-create in an organic farm-stay setting in the Deadman Valley, alongside the pristine Deadman River.
INTENTION:
~ To disconnect from technology and return to land-based practices
~ Re-connect to the land, local flora, fauna & livestock
~ To build community connection & co-create a vision for our wider community in the Kamloops area
~ To create a land-based art installation at Deadman Acres for others to enjoy
~ To return to our village senses & come together in community for a weekend of play!
LOCATION:
Deadman Acres {

The farm is 90 acres and home to many animals including goats, sheep, horses, dogs, ducks, chickens, cats and rabbits. The homestead also offers a mix of different unique farm-stay accommodations to fit everyone’s needs. Including a little retro camper; the Scamper Camper, the original homestead cabin; the Farmhouse, and a fully off grid cabin perched on a beautiful hill; the Horsehill Cabin, as well as tent and RV camping!
