Mental Health Community
At Bloom Camps, mental health is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to partner with Dork Dancing, a community founded by friends of EBC. More than what it appears, its community hosts weekly game nights, vegan dinners, jungle and bike adventures, all free for the community. Dork Dancing members are trusted friends and allies, passionate about both bringing and fostering joy, support, mental health and growth in locations around the globe. Though not currently in every Bloom Camp location, their welcoming spirit and core values around mental health are central to EBC’s mission, creating a space where we rise, explore, and thrive TOGETHER.
EBC cares about you.
