2027 Camp Resilience
Join us March 19–21, 2027, at Lake Casitas for a recovery-centered weekend of movement, nature, service, and community. Ride, hike, meditate, connect, or volunteer — there is a place for you here.
Meals & camping included · 18+ · Drug- and alcohol-free
Recovery is strengthened when we move, connect, and show up for one another, whether that’s on a bike, on a trail, in a meditation circle, or around the campfire.
SoCal Camp Resilience brings people together for an unforgettable weekend of outdoor activity, fellowship, service, and fun. Whether someone rides 20 miles, takes a morning hike, joins a meditation circle, volunteers as a Roadie, or spends time around the campfire, they are part of a community built on resilience, hope, and mutual support.
Every participant commits to raising at least $500 by March 1, 2027. Donations support the life-saving missions of The Phoenix and Trudging Buddies while helping create recovery-centered experiences rooted in movement, connection, and hope.

Over three days at Lake Casitas we’ll share meals, miles, and time in nature while raising money to support free recovery programming. Whether someone rides 20 miles, takes a morning hike, joins a meditation circle, volunteers as a Roadie, or spends time around the campfire, they are part of a community built on resilience, hope, and mutual support.
Camp Resilience is broader than a cycling event — participants of every activity level belong. The weekend is recovery-centered and drug- and alcohol-free.
