The couple days we spent at Camp Mara-Wanna this week won't be our last! First off, Ben and Leighanna were the most lovely hosts and always made sure we had what we needed, even when we forgot our own flashlights! They created an absolutely wonderful experience on their little slice of magical Midwest land. The vibes were perfect from the moment Leighanna flagged us down their driveway. We brought our pup, Willow, and she just adored both host humans AND the 2 resident host-pups, Achilles and Gracie. She gives a solid 4/4 paws š¾ ā š¾ and we couldn't agree more. We were provided plenty of blankets to keep warm on some of the first near -freezing temps we've got this year and access to their stock of firewood to keep warm around the fire circle.
The vision they have for Camp Mara-Wanna is based in a beautiful love for the healing of nature, food, cannabis, and overall wellness. We are all excited to come back for future stays and day events!
Ben and Leighanna are making the dream a reality with providing a weed-friendly place to connect with your inner child and marry it with the getaway camp some adults never got to experience. I'm excited to see what they do next and will be talking this magical place up to everyone who will listen.

Added (Queer) safety note!
As trans-queer people living in the midwest, we are cautious about the spaces we let our guard down in, but Camp Mara-Wanna was an incredibly welcoming environment where we felt safe to be ourselves.
