We’re a family who believe in the power of community and creative play. After traveling and learning with our own children around the globe, we’ve poured our passion for nature, culture, and curiosity into this new venture—our very first year at ReCreatioN
We know it can feel like a leap to join a budding community, but rest assured: we’ve seen how transformational experiences in nature and in community can bring families closer together and ignite real learning. We’d love for you to be a part of our story as we grow.

Our Philosophy
Recreation reimagines the family experience by blending creativity, nature, and community. Hidden in a wild river valley, our transformed silk factory invites families to step away from the everyday and explore new ways of being together—where creativity flows, curiosity is celebrated, and nature is a guiding force. In vibrant, family-designed spaces, both children and parents thrive as creators—not consumers—immersing themselves in experiences that reconnect them with the beauty of nature, the warmth of community, and the joy of learning.
