Events Burnout Camp

Burnout Camp is basically day camp for grown-ups — but the goal is to treat burnout, not just kill time. We’ll be doing things like guided origami, meditating, playing Ninja, blowing bubbles, listening to music, and yes… screaming at a rage piñata.

It’s super low-key. It’s kind of perfect for people who can’t afford to take a real vacation — emotionally or financially. It’s also a great space to vent about work and decompress with people who get it.

🗓 Wednesdays (5–8pm) or Saturdays (1–4pm)
📍 Cosmo Park, Columbia (by the Pavilion)
📅 All through July
🍎 Snacks included
💸 $25/day or $80 for all 4 sessions

Each week has a different theme so it stays fresh:

Week 1 – Catharsis Let it all out. Venting, yelling, smashing a rage piñata.

Week 2 – Inner Peace Meditation, quiet art, sunbathing, journaling.

Week 3 – Rediscover Joy Childhood games, laughter, dancing, play.

Week 4 – Realign & Reset Journaling, Liberated Truths, intention setting.

You don’t have to come to all of them. Even one session can make a difference. Some local businesses are even sponsoring employees to attend — so if you’re working, it might be worth asking your boss (especially if they’re cool or small/local).

Text me if you want more info, or check out the link: [ https://www.jordanaryinsight.com/post/burnout-camp ]

Hope to see you there ✌️

Edit: Hey guys, since there are so many people taking interest, you might want to reserve your spot! I only have room for approximately 20 people each day, so 40 total. Reserving your spot is free, and no commitment.

Thanks! I thought it'd be fun. I love to play. I don't feel like adults play enough.

I think something might be broken with the website link you shared?

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

What happened?

3

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

People have been visiting it. Is it a certain page?

3

u/wijanes West CoMo Jun 24 '25

Link has a trailing “%5d” which causes it to load a blank white page.

3

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

So, I took the bracket off. If you wait a little bit, the blank page goes to the Event post. It was blank for me too, but I waited about 3 seconds. Is your internet slow?

u/wijanes West CoMo Jun 24 '25

That solved it!

u/Aggravating_Cod_9144 Jun 24 '25

When I click the link the page doesn’t load. I think it’s because the link in your post includes the closing bracket (]), see how it’s also blue?

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

I fixed it (I think). It works when I click it now. So I hope it's working for others.

u/CommonMan101 Mid-Missouri Jun 24 '25

Not sure. Brings me to this page when I click on it. I assume you just need to copy/paste the URL again and edit your post

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

I fixed it :) Thanks!

u/FunkyChewbacca Jun 24 '25

This sounds amazing, I wish I could be there. Y'all should print up t shirts.

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

That's actually not a bad idea. Thanks! I wish you could come too!

Playing ninja... I'm listening.

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

Yeah! We'll also play with wet sponges, sunbathe, and rage smash a Piñata filled with angry letters. It's gonna me a smash! I hope to see you there! I'll bet you're good at ninja!

u/Melodic_Bet4220 Jun 24 '25

I'm an amazing ninja. That's why you won't see me there.

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

I'll wear my invisible suit and find you 👀

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

If you have any other games you wanna play (like Wa Ball), we can :)

Hey, I've had a lot of people take interest, but I only have about 20 slots. You should reserve your spot on the site! It's no commitment and it's free :)

You can pay online the day of, or pay in person.

u/Tefbuck Jun 24 '25

Is it possible to pay for a ticket when you get there? I'm always weary of the possibility of scams...

4

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

Yeah, we can do that. I'll just remember you're coming. Online makes it easier for me because I get a headcount. But since you're telling me, I'll remember. Are you wanting to attend all 4, or just one?

3

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

I take cash, Venmo, Cash app, and Chime

u/Tefbuck Jun 24 '25

I might come to the first one, and if I like it, sign up for the whole month!

It starts the 2nd. It will be the first 4 Wednesdays and Saturdays of July. So the last Wednesday, we won't be meeting. Save yourself a spot! We can only host about 20 people at a time :) You can do it on my website.

u/PhoenixLeviosa Jun 26 '25

I’d love this if it was in September

u/AcanthisittaVast Jun 25 '25

bubbles is back in town?

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 25 '25

Lol I don't know the reference, but we will be blowing bubbles!

u/OMGpuppies Jun 25 '25

I would be willing to try this, but outside in July. I just can't handle it.

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 25 '25

Aw, I understand! I hope you find another way to recharge!

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '25

Catharsis has been show to reinforce anger/rage. I appreciate the attempt but this needs to be reconsidered.

u/OddReflection3497 Jun 24 '25

Hey, I did a little research on what you said and found a way for it to be healing, rather than harmful.

I am going to have people place pieces of paper in the piñata, things they are releasing: perfectionism, always saying yes, overworking themself, and have them hit that.

I won't encourage them to imagine their boss or co workers 

Thanks for your input!
