Welcome to Ember and Earth:
An outdoorsy summer camp adventure for grown-ups
Fire-cooked meals. Forest skills. Wild swims. New friends. Zero stress, Fun games, More drinks.
Dates: August 6 or 7th to 10th
Location: Baggfall 7, 78291 Malung Sweden
Remember summer camp? Now imagine it with better food, cooler people, and zero awkward icebreakers.
You roll up, pitch your tent (or hey, we’ll do it for you), crack a drink, and the forest kind of wraps itself around you. There’s firewood to gather, herbs to forage, someone’s already got a skillet sizzling over the flames.
Dinner tastes like smoke and laughter. Nights stretch long and lazy around the fire. No phones, no schedules—just real connection, nature, and a bit of summer magic.
This is Ember & Earth.
Not a retreat. Not a bootcamp. Just a damn good time outdoors, with the kind of people you didn’t know you were missing.
a 4 day wild summer camp in the swedish woods.
We’re a bunch of friends who have been doing this for three summers now, and it’s finally time to invite you to our special group trip. We put together the best long camping weekend we could possibly dream up—filled with campfires, good food, and even better company—and now we want to share it with you.
Forget the ordinary retreat—this is a wild summer adventure in the outdoors for grown-ups. Think sleeping in a tent (or glamping tent 😉,) crackling campfires, wild swimming, cooking over open flames, and late-night stories under the stars.
It’s the best parts of your dream summer camp, your ideal camping trip, and the comfort of having an actual bathroom—all rolled into one. Welcome to the Freeside
Learn to build a fire, cook gourmet meals over the flames, and bake wild-inspired dishes in cast iron.
Set up camp, get creative with outdoor skills, and make yourself at home in the wild.
Forage for ingredients, mix up wild cocktails, and experiment with natural salves—but most importantly: enjoy the good times with new friends.

"I’ve learned so much about myself. I’ve gained confidence and so many life skills I didn’t have. I went fishing for the first time, chopped wood, learned how to juggle (yes, that’s a life skill haha). I learned to trust the process and that it’s okay not to have all the answers."
I saw a way of living that I hadn't seen before, which opened up my view of life even more. Because it seems like such a beautiful way of living I even started to question what path I am currently following in life. And I'm really grateful for that! Feels like I choose more consiously what I do everyday now. Other than that I met some reallyyyy amazing people that I want to keep seeing <3
“These lovely people created a place where all limits become doubtful. If you think it is possible, than go for it. On the freeside is a work on progress where people can be playful again. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to contribute so more people can create beautiful memories in the future.”
