Upcoming events are more than dates on a calendar. They’re chances to grow, reconnect, and remember why your recovery matters.
If you’ve been part of the Camp Sober Fest community before, or you’re just discovering us, this is your guide to what’s next. From the pines of California to the wide-open trails of Texas, there’s a camp waiting for you.
Here’s what’s coming up and how you can start planning today.
Recovery is something you build on, day after day, year after year. Planning ahead for events like Camp Sober Fest gives your recovery structure and something to work toward, long before you ever pack a bag.
The friendships you make at camp don’t have to fade once the weekend ends. Marking your calendar for the next event keeps you tied to a community that understands you, without judgment and without pressure. When you know another gathering is coming, it’s easier to stay engaged with the people, meetings, and habits that keep you grounded in between.
Recovery takes work, and everyone needs a reason to keep going. An upcoming camp gives you that reason. It’s motivation to keep showing up for yourself, knowing there’s a weekend of adventure, laughter, and fellowship on the horizon. That’s why so many people in the recovery community treat these events as yearly traditions rather than one-time trips.
With that mindset in place, let’s look at what’s on the calendar.
Your first stop is Sequoia Lake, California, home to one of the most anticipated sober community events of the year.
The California camp runs August 19 through 23, 2026, in the Sierra Nevada mountains at Sequoia Lake. Over four days, group registration here gives your circle a full mix of outdoor recreation, community, workshops, and camp traditions:
Every activity is optional, so your group can go all in or simply relax at their own pace.
Ask anyone who’s attended before, and they’ll tell you the same thing: it’s the people. Camp Sober Fest draws returning campers because the friendships formed here tend to stick. Many attendees say the second, third, or fourth visit feels less like a trip and more like a homecoming.
If you’re ready to see what the buzz is about, you can book your spot for California and reserve your place among this year’s group.
While California is the event happening soonest, it isn’t the only one on the horizon.
Camp Sober Fest is expanding, and Texas is next.
Set among the pine forests and lakes of East Texas, the Trinity camp runs March 12 through 15, 2027. Group registration here brings your circle a mix of activities, including:
You can review lodging options ahead of time to help your group lock in the dates.
March 2027 may feel far away, but recovery retreats like this one tend to fill up fast, and travel plans take time. Getting ahead of the calendar means better flight prices, easier lodging, and less stress as the date gets closer. If Texas has caught your interest, you can reserve your spot for Texas 2027 now and lock in your place early.
Whichever camp you choose, a little preparation goes a long way. Here’s how to make the most of it.
Once you’ve picked your event, a few simple steps can help your experience go smoothly from start to finish.
Spots at Camp Sober Fest events fill up, especially as word spreads through the recovery community. Registering early means you’re not left waiting on a cancellation list. It also gives the Camp Sober Fest team a better sense of numbers, which helps them plan activities and workshops that fit the group.
Whether you’re heading to Orange County, South Orange County, or another part of California, or making your way to Texas, book your travel as early as you can. Flights and nearby lodging tend to cost less the earlier you plan, and you’ll avoid the last-minute scramble that adds unnecessary stress to a trip meant to help you relax.
Recovery is better shared. Invite a friend, a sponsor, or a family member who supports your journey. Bringing someone along not only makes the trip more meaningful, but it also introduces another person to a community built on connection and support.
Registering, booking, and inviting friends are all part of showing up for the event itself. But your connection to Camp Sober Fest doesn’t have to end when camp does.
Camp Sober Fest runs all year, not just during camp weekends, and staying in the loop is easier than you think.
The fastest way to hear about new dates, early registration windows, and special announcements is to join the newsletter mailing list. You’ll be the first to know when new upcoming recovery events open for sign-up, so you never miss your chance to grab a spot.
Between camps, Camp Sober Fest shares stories, updates, and resources to help you stay engaged with the community. Following along on social media is a simple way to feel connected, even in the months when there’s no event on the calendar.
