• We stop for animals - interrupt us if you see one!

• ‘Pass’ if you don’t wish to share

• You don’t have to make eye contact or ‘pay attention’

• Make this experience your own

We want you to come exactly as you are. Absolutely ALL are welcome.

All colours, all cultures, all spiritual traditions or none, all bodies, all brains, all sizes, all genders, all sexualities, all of who you are.

Whether you are an experienced outdoorsperson or someone who loves to stay cozy inside, an Emberwood trip is for you.

When you join us for a trip, we prep you with everything you need to access your time in nature safely and enjoyably – including wilderness skills, psychology tools, and active support from our team.

You will get supported “solo” time (time to experience positive solitude therapy), eco-therapy invitations, meals around the fire, and a great place to stay overnight.

Our pop-ups are each a little different. At these events, you can count on getting the same type of support and offerings as on a trip, just in a smaller package!

Minorities in the majority! We guarantee that at least 51% of attendees at an event with you will be in a marginalized community (like trans, fat, Deaf, ace, IBPOC, limb difference, etc, etc). (And we’re usually at 90%!)

More on Disabilities

Lodge (cabins): Inquire about the barrier-free bathroom and cabin for Lodge. Lodge is wheel-friendly in seasons without snow.

Nest (backcountry): Nest is not accessible for wheels, with uneven ground. Nest can be attended with lower mobility and fatigue. We often drive folks into the site.

For pop-ups, our indoors space is accessible, and outdoors it depends if you do grass.

We will hire ASL interpretation on request.

More on brains

• An introvert-friendly place - we celebrate people saying ‘pass’ if they do not wish to share

• A stim-safer place

• Trauma-informed

• A safer place for neurodivergent folks

Emberwood is proud to be created and hosted by queer, trans, and racialized humans. We work hard to ensure that this space is as supportive and genuinely inclusive as it can be.

PS: worried you’re taking a spot away from someone else? You’re not! Let us worry about that in the back end. We want allies of all sorts and all kinds of intersections of identity!

We host people from grade 12 to older adults.

If you are younger but feel ready, we can discuss it; we’d love to have you!

Babes in arms are always welcome. For older kids, keep an eye out for our annual trip with child care.

Depending on your plan, you might be able to reimburse through Blue Cross. Be in touch and we can chat about what to look for in your plan.

Payment plans are always an option, be in touch and we will set one up that works for you.
