Or... you could book yourself into Camp Hemsworth where you will be forced into delightful afternoons of reading, or late breakfasts with nowhere to be?

What's a 🌼 summer camp 🌼 for women like?

This is our first Camp Hemsworth so we'll be experiencing it fresh alongside this intimate group of women, but we can tell you what we envision 👇

🛎️ You'll arrive on Friday afternoon, get checked in and have free time to explore the estate and get settled.

🥂 You'll meet everyone on the Verandah for Apertivo followed by a casual alfresco dinner. Here we'll introduce everyone, host a few gentle icebreakers and set out the itinerary for the weekend.

🔥We'll end the evening with smores by the outdoor fire, or welcome the introverts to curl up in the drawing room with a good book.

☕️The next morning will see you in the dining room for breakfast. There's no set time, just seat yourself in the two hour window that should appeal to both early birds and those who need coffee before people.

🎨After breakfast, you'll enjoy your first activity. All activities are optional and you will have a range of both self-led and supervised options.

🧺Lunch will be served picnic style in the Rose Garden.

🍏You'll have another choice of activities in the afternoon as well as free time to relax before meeting again on the verandah for Apertivo and to share what you've experienced today.

🍽️ Saturday Night's Dinner will be a show-stopping 3 courses in a lavish setting (but we're not giving anything away just yet!) followed by an outdoor movie.

🫖 Finally, Sunday morning will be a relaxed affair with self-served breakfast, a final activity before a farewell brunch to celebrate your time at Camp Hemsworth.

💅Does this have you written all over it? Limited spots for our inaugral camp are open now! See the details on our website.

The Inspiration behind Camp Hemsworth Hi, I’m R

The Inspiration behind Camp Hemsworth

Hi, I’m Rebecca. The fourth generation of my family to call Hemsworth Estate home. I’ve been an event planner for over a decade and in 2018, my mum and I opened Hemsworth Estate to the public to create their own memories.

We take inspiration from all over the world for our events, New Zealand is often behind on the world market, leaving us with FOMO when it comes to new ideas. We have previously hosted a Bridgerton ball, themed tea parties and our Bed and Breakfast receives rave reviews.

We also create the kind of events we would want to go to ourselves. Earlier in the year, I saw a camp at a chateau in France specifically designed for women and immediately wanted to pack my bags. As like most of us with commitments and a full life, spending a summer in France is unattainable without extreme planning and a hefty savings balance. So, why not host one closer to home? Camp Hemsworth became a new date on the calendar.

Now more than ever, we know female friendships are the lifeblood of our mental and physical wellbeing and making new friends as an adult is not easy. At Camp Hemsworth, we aim to bring women together in an effortless, intimate space for you to “just be” no matter your social battery.

Slowing down is not in my nature, but I still have a craving to do things the slow way. Experimenting in my kitchen, growing our own food, and generally just “giving it a go” has built new skills that will form the basis of the activities on offer at the camp.

But this is not just my camp. It’s yours. The brave women who attend will have the opportunity to shape this camp experience, voting for their preferences of activities, sharing their hopes for the weekend, and we will aim to bring those hopes to reality.

If you’re still reading, I’m grateful for your interest and I’d love to see you at Camp Hemsworth,
Rebecca
