Rejuvenate and Connect at the Curious Builder Sauna Camp
Looking for a chance to unwind, learn new wellness techniques, and connect with a dynamic community? The Curious Builder Sauna Camp is calling your name! This half-day sauna retreat is designed to be a stepping stone toward bigger adventures, like our Curious Builder Bootcamp while offering a chance to reset and recharge locally.
What to Expect at the Curious Builder Sauna Camp
We bought out an entire lakeside camp for the day in order to accommodate up to 60 guests at this sauna retreat. The goal is to offer a half-day reset where you can connect with like-minded individuals from the building and design community.
This event is packed with wellness activities, beginning with an hour of somatic breath work led by Dr. Krug, followed by cold water plunges and multiple rounds of sauna sessions.
Let’s break it down:
Somatic Breath Work: Start with an hour of guided breath work, learning how to regulate your body and mind. This practice is incredible for your wellness journey, helping to manage stress from work, modern life, or personal challenges. The breath techniques you learn can be applied to everyday situations, offering a powerful tool for managing anxiety and high-pressure moments!
Cold Water Plunge: After the breathwork session, we’ll head down to the beautiful lake for a cold plunge. The breath techniques we practiced will be a key component to help you control your body’s response to the cold water, making the experience not only bearable but refreshing. You’ll see how intentional breathing can help calm your body's natural flight response (just think what it can do for a stressful work call).
Sauna Sessions: Once you’ve braved the cold water, it’s time to warm up in one of the eight saunas on the beach and all the scientific benefits of heat therapy. We’ll cycle through rounds of sweating it out, cooling off in the lake, and repeating the process. The combination of cold exposure and sauna therapy has profound benefits, promoting relaxation, detoxification, and an undeniable sense of well-being.
Shared Meal: After the sauna sessions, we’ll gather in the lodge to enjoy a Mediterranean-style meal cooked over an open fire. It’s the perfect way to cap off the day, offering a chance to connect with others over good food and conversation!
The event focuses on more than just physical wellness—it’s about building relationships and fostering a sense of community. You’ll have the opportunity to chat with others in the sauna, share experiences, and learn from each other’s journeys.

Why We Created the Sauna Camp
Sauna culture has become a regular part of my life over the past four years. During the pandemic, I built a backyard sauna, and it quickly became a place of connection with my neighbors. I’d send out a quick text, and whoever could join would show up for an impromptu sauna session. It’s been an incredible way to bond, share life’s ups and downs, and just relax together.
I wanted to bring that same sense of community to the larger building and design community. The Curious Builder Sauna Camp is my way of sharing the restorative power of sauna culture and cold water therapy with others. It’s a chance to step away from daily stress, experience something new, and recharge in a supportive environment.
Whether you adopt cold and heat therapy into your regular routine or simply enjoy the time spent with new friends, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and a sense of accomplishment.
