Cotswolds, England

June 2 – 7, 2026

Cotswolds, England

We’re thrilled to host Camp Joy for 5-nights, 6-days in the Cotswolds, U.K., at a countryside haven that feels pulled from the pages of a fairytale.


Just outside the village of Bisley, our home for the week is a historic estate nestled in the heart of nature. Surrounded by meadows, forest paths, and gentle hills dotted with Welsh Black cattle, it’s a soulful place where imagination and comfort meet.


Every room bursts with personality - from heritage details like grand sycamore staircases and hand-carved paneling to bold interiors that celebrate joy and color.


Step outside and let the natural world invite you in: nap beneath age-old oaks, wander sun-dappled trails, or unwind in the south-facing hot tub. There’s also a heated pool, sauna, steam room, and private tennis courts for those who crave movement and play.


The surrounding countryside offers quiet magic too. A walk across the fields leads to a tiny hamlet with its golden-stone cottages and friendly pub, while the nearby town of Stroud brims with creativity, from its vibrant Saturday market to its independent art scene.


This June, our Cotswolds retreat offers space to connect - with yourself, with others, and with the peaceful rhythm of English country life. Expect morning meditation and yoga, cozy dinners under candlelit beams, meaningful workshops from the Inner Joy program, and spontaneous bursts of beauty and delight—the kind Camp Joy is known for.


If you’re seeking laughter, stillness, inspiration - or just a reset surrounded by nature and kind women - come join us in this extraordinary corner of England.

What women often ask before joining a Camp Joy retreat

What makes Camp Joy different from other retreats?

Camp Joy blends beautiful destinations, shared exploration, and meaningful conversation through the Inner Joy sessions. The result is an experience that feels both joyful and deeply connecting. Some women come with friends. Many arrive on their own. By the end of the retreat, everyone feels part of something special.

Do women come on their own?
Yes. Many women arrive on their own, and it quickly becomes one of the most rewarding parts of the experience. Friendships form easily when women gather with openness and shared curiosity.

How structured are the days?

Camp Joy retreats have a natural rhythm with shared experiences, outings, and Inner Joy sessions. There is also plenty of time to relax, explore, or simply enjoy quiet moments.

Do I have to participate in everything?
Not at all. Every activity is optional. Some women join every outing and session, while others take time to rest, read, or explore on their own.
