Badass Mom Camp 2026: More Time, More Connection, More Magic at Talking Water
Last year, the message was clear: BAM Camp ended way too soon.
So in 2026, we’re fixing that.
Badass Mom Camp is now a full 3-day experience at Talking Water Nature Retreat in Chattanooga, Tennessee – with more time to laugh, rest, connect, and soak up the kind of goodness that happens when moms get to leave the real world behind for a minute and just be themselves.
Camp begins Thursday, August 20th in the afternoon and ends Sunday, August 23rd in the morning.
What Makes BAM Camp So Special?
Badass Mom Camp is not about being polished, performing, or acting like you definitely did not just hide in the pantry for 3 minutes to be alone.
It is about coming as you are, staying in a beautiful cabin, having your meals brought to you, and being met with warmth, humor, support, and a whole lot of fun.
This is for moms who need a real reset – to laugh hard, sleep deep, play a little, make things, move their bodies, and remember they are still actual human beings underneath the snacks, schedules, and endless responsibility.
At Talking Water, BAM Camp brings together nature, creativity, comfort, and community in one unforgettable experience.
Why We Expanded to 3 Full Days
Last year’s camp left us with one very clear takeaway: everyone wanted more.
More time to settle in.
More time to connect.
More time to let loose.
More time to feel filled back up before heading home.
By expanding BAM Camp to 3 full days, we’re making space for the experience to unfold more naturally, but not pulling us away from our beloved families for too long. There is room now for both the wild and the restorative parts: the playful chaos, the late-night conversations, the belly laughs, the camp magic, and the quieter moments of reflection and reconnection.
What to Expect
Expect a mix of laughter, movement, good food, meaningful conversation, creativity, rest, and memorable shared experiences. Some moments may feel playful and silly. Others may feel grounding, freeing, or unexpectedly healing. That blend is part of the magic.
Every camp unfolds a little differently, but the heart of it stays the same: moms coming together in a beautiful place to feel more alive, more supported, and more like themselves.
The Setting
BAM Camp takes place at Talking Water Nature Retreat, tucked into the woods on Suck Creek Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee. With hand-built cabins, trails, fresh air, shared gathering spaces, and a setting that invites you to let your shoulders drop, it is the perfect place to unplug from the usual pace and reconnect with yourself and other incredible women.
There is something about being surrounded by nature that makes laughter louder, conversations deeper, and rest come easier.
Who This Is For
BAM Camp is for women of all stripes, be that moms, plucky aunts, or ladies with that lovely sarcastic mom-energy (you do not need to be a “mom” to come to Badass Mom Camp!). Come if you are craving:
- real connection
- a break from the daily grind
- fun without pressure
- rest without guilt
- meaningful conversation
- a little wildness
- a lot of laughter
- space to breathe and be taken care of
You do not need to be extra social, extra outdoorsy, extra spiritual, or extra anything. You just need to come open to the experience.

Come See What the Fuss Is About
There is a reason women left last year saying they wished camp lasted longer.
BAM Camp is more than a getaway. It is a chance to be reminded of what it feels like to laugh freely, connect deeply, and leave feeling fuller than when you arrived.
If you’ve been needing something fun, real, and genuinely nourishing, this is your invitation.
Come join us for Badass Mom Camp 2026 at Talking Water Nature Retreat – and this time, we’re making it long enough to really sink in.
