Camps

Tented mischief

While we are united underneath one village, there are five unique camps that make up the Mad Hatters Village, each with their own flair, creativity and particular mark on the multiverse, all working together to add exponential extra to the ordinary.

Family Business

Our raison d’atre is to create a shelter from the storm, a warm, mischievous sanctuary where curious minds, open hearts, dark humour, and the joy of play collide.

Our offering takes the form of Family Therapy, sitting somewhere between whimsy and gravity, our daily sessions of discussion and debate are designed to expand your mind, challenge your beliefs, spark fresh ideas and deepen our capacity to connect and surrender.
