Swim Dem Crew

Over the summer of 2023 we teamed up to host a local London-based social swimming session for the Kez Camps Black Camping Club community members to get accustomed to the water and build their swimming confidence before hitting the Dorset ocean waves at our annual camping trip.

Swim Dem Crew were founded in 2013, they focus on building personal development and self-affirmation, using swimming as a tool to empower people. They use the water to build community and improve the mental well-being of swimmers of all abilities.

Earth Child Remedies & Back A Yardd

During our 2023 trip, Bekah facilitated therapeutically informed workshops on natural remedy making, foraging, and holding a sound bath.

Bekah is an urban forager, herbal medicine enthusiast, and community wellness builder, created inclusive spaces for underrepresented voices, emphasizing accessibility to arts and wellness for Black and PoC communities. As a dedicated advocate, Bekah inspired Black and Brown individuals to reconnect with nature, reclaim ancestral plant knowledge, and ethically forage for improved mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

h(OURS)

Kez Camps Black Camping Club collaborated with h(OURS) in 2022, a London-based creative community, centring connection through consciously designed spaces and experiences. h(OURS) facilitated a guided campfire-lit evening of tea making and stories of home, followed by a creative writing session inspired by personal experiences away from said home.

h(OURS) have held talks and hosted events at places such as Reference Point (180 the Strand) and Tate Britain, including a feature in Dazed Digital magazine for their ‘Data Romantics’ takeover. Constantly in flux, they explore new ways of generating meaningful exchanges between an array of established and emerging creatives over a variety of loose-leaf teas.
