Camp Mother

They called me “Camp Mother,” a title that came about as a joke at first, but it stuck. Over time, it became a reflection of everything I’d come to embrace in this role—guide, mentor, sounding board, and sometimes, the calm in someone else’s chaos.

But let’s rewind a little because that “Camp Mother” didn’t happen overnight. It started with an idea, a community in need, and the realization that parenting can sometimes feel like a solo expedition through uncharted territory.

A Community in Need

The idea of “Camp Mother” was born from necessity. I noticed something that felt impossible to ignore—families were struggling. Not because they lacked love or effort, but because they lacked a sense of connection, resources, and, frankly, a village.

Parents were overwhelmed, burnt out, and doing their best to juggle the endless demands of raising children. Many of them felt isolated, unsure where to turn when they needed advice or just someone to say, You’re doing okay.

I kept thinking, How do I bridge this gap? How do I create a space that feels supportive, accessible, and human?

And so, I set out to build something that felt less like a traditional service and more like a community—a virtual village, where parents could find connection, guidance, and a little breathing room.

Creating the Village

The first piece of this puzzle was simple—a Facebook group. It started as a modest space where parents could ask questions, share their highs and lows, and feel seen. Slowly, it grew into something far more meaningful.

Parents began reaching out not just for advice but for connection. They shared their struggles, celebrated their wins, and reminded each other that nobody has to go it alone.

The next step was to make accessing support as seamless as possible. Appointment reminders sent through Messenger, online check-ins, and a tailored approach to care—all of it was designed to meet families where they were, both physically and emotionally.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start. And for many parents, that first step toward connection made all the difference.

The Spirit of Camp Mother

Being a “Camp Mother” wasn’t about having all the answers. It was about showing up. It was about holding space for people when they feel overwhelmed, lost, or unsure.

It’s the little things:

Sitting in a kitchen with a sleep-deprived mum and reminding her that she’s doing an incredible job.
Helping a dad navigate the maze of developmental milestones without feeling defeated.
Laughing with a family about the chaos of toddler life because sometimes, humor is the best medicine.

It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.

What I’ve Learned

Parenting isn’t meant to be done in isolation. We thrive in community, in connection, in knowing that someone else sees us and hears us.

“Camp Mother” isn’t just a title—it’s a reminder that none of us should be alone in this journey. And sometimes, all it takes is a little support “The Village’ to turn overwhelming moments into something manageable, even meaningful.
