Camp Playstate

Camp Playstate is hosting a “play date” for members & guests (free) at Yellow Barn Farm — think of it as a mini adult summer camp. The focus is on rekindling our inner magic through curiosity, exploration and community. 

There will be movement, games, arts & crafts and more surprises. No specific skills or artistic abilities are required, just an open mind and a willingness to connect & laugh at yourself. 

It’s like a workout for your spirit — a chance to let loose, recharge and rediscover the power of play.

Join us in a pivotal moment of action and connection at Yellow Barn Farm on April 26, 2025 for our annual Spring Tree Planting! If you're unable to attend this event, please consider donating.

RSVP: Your participation is a vital thread in the fabric of our community! It's always a radical time to come together to jam, plant and participate in tending to this Earth with purpose & play.


Why Plant Trees?

• We believe in a livable future

• We want to retain more water to grow food and address widespread food insecurity

• To continue to research what works and what doesn't

• To replant species that are thriving - we've been tracking what trees do best in our bioregion for 8 years!

• To connect with each other and build community - involving our youth every step of the way!

• Trees are the cornerstone of our regenerative design (restoring topsoil, inviting biodiversity, and sequestering carbon!)

• They are the breath of our ecosystem, vital to the resurgence of life in Boulder County

In the face of desertification, where our land lies bare and biodiversity scarce, we see not desolation but potential.
