❋
Nestled at the base of the Brenta Dolomiti and in Valley leading to Lago di Garda, meet us at BASE CAMP.
Base Camp Italy
MAY THROUGH END OF SEPTEMBER 2026
For families who believe that the best classroom is the world itself — you will feel at home here.
~ You are location-independent or season-flexible.
~ You value movement, culture, and connection as much as productivity.
~ You are not aspirationally outdoorsy - you and your children truly THRIVE outdoors!
~ You want your children to grow through experience, and yourself to breathe, think, and be part
of something.
You are looking for an unforgettable experience that is thoughtfully created and intentionally led that makes travel, meaningful connection and life feel easy!
❋ Intentional StructureWe curate open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.
❋ Collaborative EnergyConnection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.
❋ Expert FacilitationLed by experienced external guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.
❋ A Supportive SpaceOur gatherings prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.
How it works
*
You arrange your own accommodation: We share a curated list of apartments, camp grounds, guesthouses and family-friendly stays in and around the Valle Laghi province— and the community Telegram group makes it easy to coordinate, share finds, and even arrange shared stays.
You choose how long to stay: join for a week. Stay for the month. Return the following month. The hub runs June through September 10 2026, rolling monthly — so you can build your summer around your life.
You choose how deeply to go: Our weekly rhythm allows for your family to plug in where the adventure calls or plan your own day. Adventure Pods are available for families who want structured outdoor experiences for their kids three times a week AND the free time to be together, explore or join our adult wellness experiences.
Everything else — the people, the mountains, the pace, the Italian way of life — is already here waiting for you.
"Our time with Nick and his family consistently brings us back to what matters most — family and living life well."

Your Summer Family Adventure
Base Camp is your entry point into the world of The Good Life Mountain Club.
It is for families who want to be part of something — without needing it to be structured around every hour of their day.
WHAT'S INCLUDED (rotating inclusions)
~ Community Telegram group — active from the moment you register, for coordination, play dates, networking, shared finds, and belonging.
~ Weekly community alpine picnics in the mountains
~ Group rifugio hikes through the Brenta Dolomiti region
~ Pasta, Pizza and Sourdough making evenings — for kids and adults
~ Local castle discovery days and meet-ups at one of the stunning lakes
~ Community Adventure Days — including external activities such as via ferrata, bike adventures, paddleboarding and kayaking, community climb nights and dinners (activity costs not covered by GLMC)
~ Local recommendations and curated regional insights — trails, hidden rifugios, where to find the best gelato in the valley!
Where Adventure meets Spaciousness
Base Camp combines community access for adults with Adventure Pod enrolment for children. Adventure Pods begin at 10am — while your children explore the mountains with our local qualified and bi-lingual external guides for archery, bouldering, wood carving, zip-lining and more, you might join a breathwork session, take a sauna, or move your body in the alpine air.
After that, the day is yours. Work from our suggested and frequented cafes, sit in the piazza with a coffee, or simply do nothing particularly well. Afternoons are sacred — for exploration as a family, connection, or quiet.
Evenings arrive slowly and ask you and your children to linger for longer, just like the Italians do.
This is what the art of living well looks like when you give it room to breathe.
