The inside scoop on behind-the-scenes projects in both Châteaux, video electives inspired by camp and the local region, photos and year-round updates on the gardens, history and cultural articles, fun challenges to connect with other Pocket Campers, and then of course, posts from fellow Pocket Campers. When you join, you’ll see our current theme and threads of conversations between women from all over the world!
Here’s some of our top video electives so far: Antiques Tour, 5 Ways to Say Hello in French, Morning Yoga, Bird Watching, and even one about Spinach (it was thriving in Beduer all winter!).Plus, there is the content you create – Pocket Campers sharing their latest projects, asking questions, swapping ideas, and cheering each other on.

There's no minimum time commitment and no such thing as falling behind. Pop in for five minutes during your morning coffee, spend an hour exploring creative projects on a Sunday Funday, or simply check in when you need a dose of inspiration. Pocket Château is designed to fit your life, not take it over.
-
Your membership will provide full access to every space and includes a lifetime price lock. In other words, your monthly or annual cost will never increase.

Opening our doors for brief periods isn't about creating artificial scarcity – it's about fostering genuine community. That way, we can pour all our love and attention into giving our new Campers the warm welcome they deserve. Once our newest Pocket Campers (that could be you ✨) are settled in and thriving, we'll open our doors again for more wonderful women to join. As one of our Pocket Campers, you'll help shape our community.
