Welcome to Ember & Earth – The Ultimate Summer Camp for Adults
Forget your everyday routine—this is your chance to escape into a 4-day summer adventure filled with fire-cooked meals, wild swimming, foraging, cocktail crafting, and late nights around the campfire with an amazing group of people.
We’ve spent three summers perfecting this trip, and now we’re inviting you to our favorite weekend of the year—where strangers turn into lifelong friends, food tastes better over an open fire, and every night ends with a drink in hand and campfire.
What’s Included?
✔ 9 fire-cooked meals – 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners
✔ 4 days, 3 nights at our beautiful property
✔ 2 wild-crafted mocktails per night (BYOB to add your own twist!)
✔ Fire-making, outdoor cooking, foraging, mixology & more
✔ Water adventures – Canoeing, paddleboarding & wild swimming
✔ Daily community fires & gatherings
✔ Games, competitions, and summer camp challenges
✔ A digital recipe & skills booklet to take home
✔ Unforgettable vibes with an amazing group of people
Who Is This For?
✔ You love good food, good drinks, and good company.
✔ You want a laid-back outdoor adventure—not a hardcore survival course.
✔ You miss those late-night campfire hangs, games, and swapping stories.
✔ You love learning cool new skills, from mixology to fire-making.
✔ You want to spend more time outside but still have the comforts of great camp (like toilets, great meals, and a pre-set up tent with a comzy mattress, some fairly lights and cozy bedding, book the glamping then 😉).
We know you can’t do everything in one weekend, and that’s the beauty of it—Ember & Earth is all about soaking in the moments, not rushing through them. If you want to read a book for 3 days, go for it! If you want to learn how build a shelter outdoors GO FOR IT! Or maybe food is your passion and cooking over fire is a skill you want to master. We got the skills, you bring the energy.
At our property you can either chill or join the skill sharing sessions!

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!
Maybe you even make your own syrups during the day? Joel can give you all his tips 😉
Shower and bathrooms:
You’ll have access to proper toilets and running water—this is outdoor living with a bit of comfort. There’s a bathroom in the main building, and for a more scenic experience, there’s a hot outdoor shower hidden in the forest.
What should I pack?
Once you book, you’ll receive a packing list with everything you need to bring. But essentials include a sleeping bag (or rent one), warm clothes, and a sense of adventure!
Where is it located and how to get there?
The trip takes place at The Freeside Property in Malung, Dalarna, Sweden. Surrounded by deep forests, wild trails, and open campfire spaces, it’s the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and laid-back summer camp vibes. The lake is just 4 km away, making it easy for a quick swim or paddle. The property has been the home to Indie and Joel for 3 years and the camp vibes are perfect. You have the forest where we will live and camp, there is a bathroom in the house and if we get crazy weather we have extra shelter in the main building.

Malung/Hagfors is easy to reach by car or public transport. We’re super flexible and can help organize carpools or pick you up from nearby cities (Karlstad, Malung, Hagfors) for a fee—just let us know when you book.
