Reset. Refresh. Refocus.

Sauna Camp is back for its third year! We’ll kick things off with a group activity (to be announced soon!) From there, spend the afternoon moving between sauna and cold plunge rounds at your own pace, connecting with others, and enjoying the experience. We’ll wrap up the day with a chef-prepared dinner together in the dining hall.

A full day of great conversation, connection, and plenty of time to recharge.

A half day experience. Push your limits, reset your mindset, and take on the adventure ahead.

Explore Sauna Camp

It’s time to experience this unique wellness adventure at Sauna Camp! They combine the thrill of cold plunges in the frozen waters of Lake Independence with rejuvenating wood-fired saunas placed directly on the ice. Their focus on community and personal growth creates a camp-like atmosphere for those eager to embrace winter. With membership and day-pass options, participants can enjoy regular challenges and connections in the Twin Cities. Whether a seasoned sauna-goer or a first-timer, everyone will find a welcoming space to warm up in one of the 8+ saunas, then cool off with a jump into a hole cut into the ice or a roll in the snow.

Why you should join

Engage in meaningful conversations and shared experiences. This supportive atmosphere fosters personal growth and encourages you to step outside your comfort zone.

Foster Connection

Embrace the challenge of cold exposure and sauna sessions, which cultivate resilience and mental toughness. Each round tests your limits, pushing you to discover your true strength and adaptability in the face of discomfort.

Build Resilience

Experience the powerful benefits of contrast therapy with sauna sessions and cold plunging, designed to boost your mental and physical health by reducing stress, improving metabolism, and enhancing focus.

Transformative Wellness

Past Event Success

Our goal with Sauna Camp was simple—create space to pause, breathe, and connect. Hosted at Camp Tanadoona on Lake Minnewashta, this event brought builders and industry pros together for a full-body reset through sauna therapy, cold plunges, and guided breathwork with Dr. Mel Krug.

Between plunging into 33-degree waters, cycling through nine barrel saunas (including the largest in the U.S.), and sharing an incredible Mediterranean meal by FUMO, attendees walked away feeling renewed and re-energized. Beyond the wellness benefits, it was the conversations, laughter, and sense of community that made the day unforgettable.
