Attend a Camp for Survivors
Project Horizon is proud to support victims of domestic and sexual violence by partnering with Camp Mabon and Camp Ostara. In alignment with spring and autumn equinox, survivors are given an opportunity to experience a new kind of healing journey.
Since 2005, Camp Mabon provides a three-day retreat for women who have survived any act of sexual violence or trauma involving a family member, intimate partner, acquaintance or stranger.
Register now for Camp Mabon! The dates are September 25-27, 2026 at Douthat State Park in Millboro, Virginia. Scroll down for the sign up link!
Both camps offer a positive, pivotal, transformative outdoor experience, particularly to survivors with limited resources or few opportunities to participate in such events.
Campers stay at a Virginia State Park lodge in Millboro. Activities are held in a safe, supportive outdoor environment, and designed to help survivors who wish to face and master their fears, regain confidence in their own body, and experience the healing power of the natural world.
Women of any race, ethnicity, place of origin, age, faith, sexual orientation, or disability are welcome and we protect the confidentiality of each individual.
Mabon is the Celtic harvest celebration of the Autumn Equinox, held to honor the change of seasons on the day when light and dark are in balance. Ostara is the celebration of the Spring Equinox, honoring the fertility and rebirth of the earth. For these reasons, each camp is held during its season of origin.
