Bridging the Connection Gap

While Building the Leaders of Tomorrow

COUSIN

CAMP

is an immersive, grassroots camp experience that rekindles connection, inspires leadership, and builds a legacy of togetherness through summer camp fun.

From trust-building exercises to cozy nights around the campfire, we’ve designed every detail of Cousin Camp to spark joy, embolden leaders and create lasting memories for everyone involved.

AT THE CORE

Cousin Camp is an invitation — to disconnect from everyday distractions and re-connect with what matters most.

SUPPORT OUR MISSION

Not every child gets to go to summer camp — so we’ve brought summer camp to them.

Cousin Camp was created to serve kids who don’t have access to traditional summer camps. That’s why Cousin Camp is free for all of our campers, every summer.

The Chaos Coordinator

Hey, I’m Monica! I’ve spent a decade facilitating immersive experiences that bring people together. With over 20 camps and retreats under my belt, I’ve seen how powerful these environments can be in building confidence, character, and connection. Before studying 4-Dimensional Leadership abroad, I worked at sleep-away camps and purpose-driven experiences that focused on developing and empowering children, youth and young adults.

Five years ago I began hosting Cousin Camp in Arizona to share the magic of camp with the kids I love most. What began as a fun, week-long experience for my family quickly became an experience promoting leadership, IRL connection and self expression. Over the years, Cousin Camp has turned into the highlight of the year, and we’ve grown to include family friends and children from our local community. With over 50 campers & counselors attending Cousin Camp each year, this experience has evolved from a small family camp into an annual community tradition rooted in joy, leadership, and togetherness.

With Love, Monica Heisler
