Today, EVALCORP would like to shine the spotlight on one of the incredible organizations we have the privilege to support. Founded by Breezy Nowlan, Camp Sober Fest offers a unique retreat experience for people in recovery, providing them with the chance to reconnect with themselves and rediscover joy through a series of fun, community-focused activities. EVALCORP is proud to support Camp Sober Fest by helping to reduce financial barriers, making this transformative experience accessible to more people on their recovery journeys.
The Inspiration Behind Camp Sober Fest
The idea for Camp Sober Fest stemmed from Breezy’s experiences with the Rebellion Dogs, where the power of community support was evident. Recognizing a growing need for social connection and enjoyment in sobriety, Breezy created Camp Sober Fest, a retreat where attendees could gather, play, and find the same sense of belonging and joy she had found in the Rebellion Dogs.
Launched in October 2022, Camp Sober Fest has rapidly grown into an annual retreat with over 150 participants, each eager to reconnect with themselves and their peers. The weekend includes a range of activities like high ropes courses, archery, karaoke, a talent show, and campfire meetings—all designed to foster deep, meaningful connections and remind participants of the joy in sober living.
Lasting Impact: The Transformative Power of Camp Sober Fest
Camp Sober Fest is about more than just a weekend getaway; it’s a powerful journey of self-discovery, connection, and support. “By the end, campers were crying that they didn’t want to leave,” Breezy recalls. “The camp impacts everyone who attends, with people coming up to me expressing that they didn’t think they could feel this close to strangers so quickly and deeply.” With participants bonding over shared experiences and forming lifelong friendships, Camp Sober Fest has become a cornerstone for many in their recovery journey.
The Future Vision for Camp Sober Fest
Looking ahead, Breezy and her team have big plans for Camp Sober Fest. In response to cross-county demand, they hope to expand Camp Sober Fest to multiple regions, creating retreats across the country so that more people can experience the joy and support it brings. They also plan to continue incorporating smaller retreats throughout the year to maintain the connections built during the main event.
