Womanifest 2026 · Kids' Space

Kids' Camp

A gathering space for the little ones of our tribe to wander, wonder, and make, led with steady hands and open hearts, held only during the Womanifest weekend.

Led by Josie & Cullen, with our circle of trusted volunteers

Meet the Camp Leaders

Josie & Cullen

Two hands, one devotion, building a space where children can explore, create, and be seen exactly as they are.

Josie, Cullen and their growing family at Womanifest

Josie  ·  Holder of the Children's Circle

Seven years in Montessori education and six years working alongside elders have given Josie a rare gift: the ability to meet both ends of life with the same tenderness. Her days are spent nurturing children and supporting women through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care.

Cullen  ·  Builder, Maker, Kitchen Helper

Cullen brings his hands-on craft to camp: vinyl and sticker work, flooring, and a genuine love of the kitchen. Outside of that, you'll find him deep in wood and leather working, always ready to help the kids build something real.

Together, Josie and Cullen are in love with life and their growing tribe, parents to four beautiful children, with one more on the way, and now in their third year holding space at Womanifest. Devoted to the children of the goddess, they create space for self-exploration and creation, living in harmony with nature and returning to natural, biological order.

For the Families

Practical Notes

A few things to help your little one settle in and give you the freedom to move fully through the weekend.

Supervision

  • Parents are welcome to stay close and play alongside their child, or to step away. The choice is yours to make moment by moment.
  • If you do leave your child in camp's care, please let the adult leader on duty know where you'll be, so we can reach you easily if your little one needs you.
