The Trip
Catalina Island Camp for Grown-ups | Meditation · Movement · Magic · Art · Play · Transformation
Step off the ferry and into a world where your inner child meets your grown-up soul.
Camp Onward is a one-of-a-kind immersive retreat for adults who crave depth, nature, delight, and wild aliveness.
Join us on the beautiful shores of Catalina Island for a few enchanted days of …
Play that reminds you who you really are
Nature immersion that stokes the soul
Breathwork that opens the heart
Creativity under open skies
Delicious and nutrient dense food that is made with love and sourced locally
Movement that awakens joy
Meditation that grounds the spirit
Endless dance parties
New friends to cherish for a lifetime
This is not your typical camp — it’s a portal back to wonder, built for conscious creatives, movers, nature-lovers, and anyone longing to reconnect to their aliveness.
You’ll sleep under stars, wake with the sun, swim in the cleanest California waters, and return home with dirt under your nails and stardust in your bones.
Come as you are. Leave as more of yourself.
Welcome to your waterfront Base!
The Onward Oceans Center is a rustic off-grid retreat space nestled in the middle of Cat Harbor on the undeveloped back side of Catalina Island.
This is a transformative place to unplug, relax, get funky, and tune in to the gorgeous natural surroundings of one of the most pristine marine environments on the California Coast.
The vibe here is summer camp! Campers stay in glamping tents on large comfy cots. Guys and girls bunkhouse-style tents invite new buds to giggle themselves to sleep. A small number of private group & individual tents are available as well.
The Oceans Center provides a full kitchen, composting toilets, a freshwater rinse, and access to miles and miles of trails, abundant kayaking & paddleboarding + endless opportunities for quiet, meditation, and reflection by the lapping water.
Please read our comprehensive expectations & guidelines for more details and what to expect on a typical Onward Industries trip.
