✔ A digital recipe & skills booklet to take home

At Ember & Earth, we believe that the best connections happen around a fire, with good food, good drinks, and even better company. Before the full adventure kicks off—before the games, the lake dips, and the fire-cooked feasts—why not take a moment to settle in, get to know your fellow campers, and start the experience in the best way possible?
By arriving a day early, you get to ease into the trip with a more intimate gathering. Chef Leon will prepare an incredible dinner over the fire, and Joel will craft a few wild-inspired mocktails for us to enjoy as we sit together under the trees, sharing stories and soaking in the peace of nature before the big adventure begins.
If you’re traveling solo, this is the perfect way to feel at home before the full group arrives. Get familiar with the space, pick the best camp spot, and settle in at your own pace—no rush, no stress, just good vibes.
This night is all about unwinding, connecting, and soaking in the slower side of camp life before everything kicks into full swing on Thursday. If you love the idea of a warm welcome, deep conversations, and an extra night of campfire magic, this is for you.

Most Asked Questions
What’s the sleeping situation?
You’ll be sleeping outdoors in our camp area—but you have options. Bring your own tent or campervan, or rent a pre-set tent with a mattress for the weekend. If you’re up for the full experience, sleep under the stars with just a tarp overhead. Bring your own comfort or let us set it up!
What about food?
All 9 meals are included—fire-cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. Expect campfire breakfasts, hearty lunches, and long, relaxed dinners over the fire. We offer plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergy-friendly options—just let us know when you book.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Yes! You’ll get 2 wild-crafted mocktails per night, but if you want extra drinks, you’re welcome to bring your own. In Sweden you need a liquor licence to serve drinks so we can’t legally do that. But we will give you a list of the mocktails we are planning and what liquor would go great with them!
