An all-ages summer camp experience built for vegans! See what it feels like:

What people are saying:

  • People dancing and having fun outdoors at night under colorful lights, some wearing headphones.
  • People standing on a stage during a presentation or event inside a large tent, with two large projection screens displaying diagrams about antioxidants donating electrons to neutralize free radicals.
  • Two women standing on stage holding microphones, one speaking and the other listening, with a large pink screen behind them displaying text.
  • A man sitting on a chair making a rock and roll gesture with his hand, smiling with his tongue out.
  • Group of people gathered outdoors around a sign that reads 'Timber Lakes camp retreat center'. They are smiling and posing for a photo, with some sitting and others standing, in a wooded area.
  • Buffet with various dishes including black beans, rice, yellow corn, mixed vegetables, and other hot foods, with people serving themselves.
  • Four smiling people standing indoors, embracing each other. The group includes two women and two men, all casually dressed. The background shows a room with tables, chairs, and large windows.

A Glimpse of the World We're Working to Create…

Where compassion becomes culture.

For five whole days, you'll experience what life feels like when kindness is the norm rather than the exception.

Imagine sharing every meal with people who care about animals, the planet, and one another. Learning from inspiring speakers. Dancing under the stars. Having conversations that leave you feeling understood, encouraged, and hopeful about the future.

At Vibrant Vegan Fest, health and compassion go hand in hand. Our speakers and workshops explore plant-based nutrition, animal advocacy, sustainability, joyful movement, mindfulness, and practical ways to live your values with confidence and purpose.

Whether you're here to improve your health, deepen your commitment to veganism, meet lifelong friends, or simply reconnect with what matters most, you'll leave with more than memories. You'll leave with renewed hope, meaningful and lasting relationships, and the inspiration to keep creating a kinder, healthier world long after the festival ends.
