The 12 Steps to Return to Humanity is an ongoing event program series hosted by The CAMP, Costa Mesa. It was inspired by a desire to activate ourselves to connect with our communities deeper, and take more time away from technology.

Anyone is welcome to participate and visit, just check our Event Calendar for upcoming festivities. Some events are ticketed, but the majority are free!

Attendees are encouraged to pick up a free stamp-card to earn prizes when you attend multiple events.

Stamp-cards are available at all “12 Steps to Return to Humanity” events at The CAMP’s official info table.

This is where you will be able to receive your stamps after or during an event.

Depending on the number of events you attend, we will have rewards tiering from limited edition stickers, T-shirts, and dinner-worthy gift cards!

Rewards will be dispersed in the final season of 2026 at one of the collection events. More on this to come!

All of them, of course! All events that are part of the series will be labeled on our Calendar and in our bulletin board at The CAMP.

Whether you prefer to move your body, eat good foods, get creative and hands on, or get retrospective, there is an event for you.

All steps can be attended in any order, at any time, depending on what we have scheduled. For example, if you don’t prefer to join us for community yoga at Step 1, you can still grab a stamp for Step 2, with music in the courtyard.

Steps will often land out of order due to their reoccurring nature. We like to think that’s the beauty of the recovery program.
