You'll have your own twin-sized airbed inside a spacious 12-person tent shared between you and one other person, giving you plenty of personal space to keep your quarter Kozi. One of the first things you'll do when you arrive is learn how to set up your tent with support from your facilitators. By the time you're done, you'll have earned your home base for the trip.

Tents are shared, that's part of what makes Camp Kozi special. Your tentmate is someone you'll meet before the trip at our pre-camp orientation, so by the time you're zipping up for the night, they're already familiar. Some of our best camp friendships started in a shared tent.

Outside tents are currently not allowed. The shared tent experience is intentional and central to how Camp Kozi works. Plus, with a 12-person tent split between two people, you'll have more space than you'd expect. Our setup is part of the experience.

We exclusively pick campgrounds with hot showers, flushable toilets and accessible outlets. While it’s not the Four Seasons, it's clean, functional, and better than you might be imagining. 

Safety is our top priority. In the event of severe weather, campers will have access to heated onsite cabins at no additional cost. Please note that refunds are not available. 

We highly discourage arriving late or leaving early, as it can disrupt the community-building flow and overall experience of the trip. That said, we understand that scheduling conflicts and emergencies happen. If you know ahead of time, let us know as soon as possible. That way we can coordinate with you to ensure you have the best experience possible.

Getting to the campsite is on you, but we make it easier. We organize a Kozi Convoy before each trip so that anyone who wants to carpool can connect with fellow campers heading the same way. It's a great way to start the trip early. The campsite is about 4 hours from Chicago.

Maybe not and that’s totally ok! Most folks come solo, and that’s part of what makes camp fun. We kick things off with an in-person orientation so you can meet everyone, get comfortable, and start feeling part of the group before camp even begins.

Bringing friends? That’s cool too. Let us know beforehand whether or not you want to tent together and we’ll make it happen. 

We’ll send every confirmed camper a detailed packing list with everything you’ll need. At a minimum, you’ll want to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, sheets, towel, camping chair, lantern, portable charger, washcloth, and personal items.

If you don’t want to source everything yourself, you can rent a gear kit at checkout or up to two weeks before the trip.

We know $675 is a real investment, so here's how we handle it. If Camp Kozi needs to cancel a trip, you'll receive a full credit to apply to a future trip. If you need to cancel 30 or more days before the trip, we'll issue a credit toward a future experience. Cancellations within 30 days of the trip are not eligible for a credit since by that point we've already purchased everything for your experience. If you have a specific situation, reach out and we'll do our best to work with you.
