Among the group’s event lineup is the Kind Heart Campout, a vegan camping festival in Southern California. The shindig kicks off next Friday, August 13, and continues throughout the weekend with a jam-packed itinerary.
The three-day festival will be emceed by environmental activist, Merissa Underwood (also known as Miss Montana USA 2020). Guests will be able to take part in speaker panels, activism workshops, games, art activities, yoga classes, and dance parties.

Want to bring your kids and pups? There is a separate tent site for families as well as special activities specifically for children. The cost of a kid’s ticket (5-12 years old) is $20. You can bring kids under 5 at no additional cost.

The first annual Kind Heart Campout is set to take place from Friday, August 13 to Sunday, August 15 about 55 miles north of San Diego at Harrison Serenity Ranch (18187 Nate Harrison Rd, Palomar Mountain, CA 92060).
