The Summer I Always Dreamed Of (And Why I’m Making It Real for Teen Girls Today)
Apr 10, 2025
by Miranda Dawn, Co-Founder of Co-Love
When I was a teen, I would’ve given anything to spend a summer in a space like this.
A place filled with music and magic.
With hammock hangs and dance parties.
With aunties who really see you, and certified teen life coaches who hold you with so much care.
A space where your inner light isn’t just welcomed—it’s amplified.
But honestly? As a young girl, I probably wouldn’t have been able to afford something like this.
And that’s exactly why I created it.
That’s why our scholarships matter.
Because every girl deserves a summer glow-up like this one.
This summer’s Co-Love Retreat is more than a camp. It’s the kind of transformational, soul-deep, joy-filled gathering I always longed for—and now, I get to offer it to a whole generation of teen girls (and their coaches) in a way that’s both magical and accessible.
So What’s Waiting for You This Summer?
Connection that feels like coming home.
From front porch talks to spontaneous dance parties, we’re creating a space where girls can laugh, feel, rest, and rise—together.
Creative expression everywhere.
From painting to oracle cards, nature walks to book club, we give girls the freedom to explore what lights them up.
A private live concert under the stars.
Yep. We’re bringing in the powerhouse women PAACK and it’s going to be pure magic.
Multigenerational love.
Grandmothers making breakfast. Twin sisters capturing every moment behind the camera. Yoga instructors, artists, athletes and Our team of coaches—all wise, attuned, and full of heart—each showing up with their inner teen right alongside them.
Play, movement, and fun.
Pickleball, basketball, swimming, art, movement, and pure joy. We play hard and rest well.
A village of support.
This retreat is also the live internship experience for our Fall Teen Life Coach Certification cohort—so if you’re curious about stepping into this work, this is the most aligned way to see it in action.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just a summer getaway. It’s an activation.
For girls who’ve been carrying too much.
For the ones who’ve been holding it together.
For the ones who feel too much or not enough.
For the ones who are ready to bloom—but need a village around them when they do.
It’s also for the adults who want to walk alongside them.
To coach, to mentor, to remember their own radiant younger selves and bring her forward.
This is for you.
Whether you’re a teen ready for a summer of soul and sisterhood…
Or a future coach feeling the pull to join our fall certification cohort and want to see the work come alive in real time…
There’s a place here for you.
Let’s Make the Magic Accessible
We’re committed to making sure this experience is available to as many girls as we can fit.
That’s why we offer scholarships—because no one should miss out on this kind of summer just because of cost.
If you’re able to sponsor a girl, donate toward a scholarship, or want to apply for one—reach out. Let’s talk. Let’s build this village together.
Because when one girl rises in joy, confidence, and connection—
We all rise.
With so much love and excitement,
Miranda Dawn
