Our Story
Welcome to Sequoia Highland Camp, your ultimate nature retreat and glamping destination in California. In 2020, we—two brothers—embarked on a journey to restore this land’s natural beauty after years of drought and neglect. Spanning 120 acres of secluded wilderness at 4,800 feet, Sequoia Highland Camp offers breathtaking views and a serene environment. Ideally located near Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks, and just 200 miles from both San Francisco and Los Angeles, our retreat serves as a perfect base for exploring California’s majestic landscapes.
We believe that it is our responsibility to nurture and respect the land, recognizing that we are merely its visitors. Our mission is to provide a space where you can unwind, disconnect, rediscover yourself, and reconnect with nature, all while contributing to the regeneration and thriving of this incredible environment.

Inspiration

Forest Bathing, or "Shinrin-Yoku," Originates from Japan for Wellness
​
Forest bathing, known as "Shinrin-yoku" in Japanese, translates to "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." Originating in Japan during the 1980s, this practice encourages individuals to immerse themselves in nature, particularly forests, to enhance health, wellness, and happiness. The concept was developed as a response to the technological boom and increasing stress levels, promoting a natural and therapeutic method to counteract the hustle and bustle of modern life. Research supports forest bathing's benefits, highlighting its positive impacts on reducing stress, improving mood, boosting the immune system, and enhancing overall well-being. This nature-based therapy has since gained global recognition, encouraging people worldwide to connect with nature and experience the calming and rejuvenating effects of forests.

Sound Healing: An Ancient Practice for Modern Wellness
​
Sound healing, an ancient therapeutic practice, harnesses the power of sound and vibration to restore one's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Rooted in various cultures and traditions, including Tibetan singing bowls, Aboriginal didgeridoos, and Gregorian chants, sound healing has been used for millennia across the globe. Its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Indians, who recognized music and sound's profound effects on the human body and spirit. Today, sound healing has evolved into a holistic healing modality, incorporating tools like tuning forks, gongs, and crystal bowls to promote relaxation, stress relief, and self-healing. Embraced by modern wellness communities, sound healing offers a unique and powerful pathway to achieving balance and harmony within the mind and body. Our geodesic dome has the perfect acoustics for sound healing.

Designed to unite the body, mind, and spirit, yoga aims to achieve harmony and balance, promoting physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. Over centuries, yoga has evolved into various styles and schools, each emphasizing different aspects of the practice. In the modern era, yoga has gained global popularity, recognized not only for its physical benefits, such as improved flexibility and strength, but also for its ability to reduce stress, enhance mindfulness, and foster overall well-being.
