camp well read.
A weekend away for the girls who love good books, meaningful conversation, and intentional time to slow down.
Camp Well Read is a special readers retreat created for our community to step away from the everyday and step into a weekend of all things reading, connection, creativity, and fun.
Think summer camp—but make it bookish.
For a few days, we’re trading our usual routines for cozy slow mornings, new friendships, bookish activities, and plenty of time to read. There will be adventures to explore, memories to make, and even time to disappear into a book with absolutely nowhere else to be.
Whether you’ve been part of Well Read since the beginning or you’re joining us for the very first time, there’s a place for you at camp. To building new friendships or making new ones, we’re excited for what is to come at this special retreat.
Come for the books. Stay for the memories. Leave with a full heart—and probably a longer TBR.
Welcome to Camp Well Read!

Coming with a friend? We recommend booking together so you can stay in the same room! After booking, please email or DM us with your room placement request. Room assignments are first come, first served, so we encourage you to book early.
Coming solo? No worries—you’re still invited to camp! If you book a double queen room, we’ll do our best to pair you with another solo camper who selected the same room type. After registration closes, you’ll receive a roommate questionnaire to help us make the best possible match.
