Camp Petal: A Grown-Up Summer of Self-Discovery and Simple Joys

Camp Petal: A Grown-Up Summer of Self-Discovery and Simple Joys

Remember summer camp? Long days, late nights, questionable cafeteria food, and the kind of carefree joy you wish you could bottle up and save for later? At Petal & Pink, we decided… why not bring a little of that magic back?

Welcome to Camp Petal — our summer camp-inspired celebration of self-discovery, simple joys, and community connection. No bug spray required.

Why Camp Petal?

Because mental wellness isn’t just about heavy conversations and therapy sessions (though we fully support those too). It’s about moments of connection, creativity, curiosity, and doing things just for the fun of it. Play is therapy. Connection is healing. Laughter is medicine.

We created Camp Petal to give you a safe, welcoming space to reconnect with yourself, try something new, and meet other big-hearted, emotionally complex humans.

Bonus: adorable badge challenges and nostalgic vibes included.

What’s Happening This Summer

Camp Petal is a mix of mental wellness workshops, creative experiences, and community events. Here’s a peek at what’s happening in Session One:

  • Open Mahjong Nights — Every Tuesday evening is a casual hangout for Mahjong pros and beginners alike. Cute snacks, good company, and minor bragging rights included.

  • Self-Discovery Workshops — A cozy space for guided journaling, reflection, and those good kind of existential questions that pair well with herbal tea and comfy pants.

  • Florals & Feelings — A creative night of expressive floral art paired with open, honest emotional exploration. It’s okay if you cry a little. We support it.

  • Learn to Play Mahjong — New to the game? We’ve got you covered. Learn the rules, laugh through mistakes, and leave with a new favorite hobby.

  • Emotionally Sunburned: Summer Book Club — Our book club for the big-hearted, emotionally layered, and perpetually overwhelmed reader. This season’s lineup includes thought-provoking titles meant to spark meaningful conversations and personal insights.  We are kicking things off with LET THEM by Mel Robbins.

Earn Your Badges (And a Little Personal Growth)

We couldn’t resist adding a little camp-style challenge. Stop by the shop to pick up your Camp Petal checklist. Complete activities throughout the summer to earn an adorable “badge” (that looks suspiciously like a sticker) and maybe even surprise yourself with how good it feels to reconnect with your own joy.

It’s like those nostalgic summer camp days you remember — but with more journaling, better snacks, and fewer mosquitoes.

Join the Fun

Whether you’re here to reflect, create, connect, or just vibe with some kind, emotionally aware people — your bunk is ready.
