The Living Wake - experience -your very own pre-death funeralAt The Last Camp, we’re gifting participants a one-of-a-kind, life-affirming experience - your very own pre-death funeral. You’ll fill out a brief questionnaire, then lie back in a casket while your custom obituary is read aloud. If you bring friends, they can share their own tributes (serious or comedic - it’s your funeral!). When it’s over, you’ll step out refreshed, with a new appreciation for life.

Call MomCall Mom is an interactive installation, featuring an old rotary phone displayed on a pedestal in the 'Mom, I'm Fine' theme camp. Callers dial in to receive heartfelt, automated messages from a Motherly voice, offering comforting guidance through difficult festival emotions. As they navigate a menu system, callers select options to address feelings of homesickness, loneliness, or overwhelm, mixed in with warmth and light humor.
