VIsit Wells Gray Village

Experience the Place behind Portal.Place

A new way of living, learning, building, and connecting — seasonally, in nature and in community.

Wells Gray Village is a real, operating place in British Columbia — part RV campsite, part village prototype, part long-term vision for how people live, work, learn, create, and gather in a changing world.

There are a few different ways to come experience it, depending on what you’re looking for.

Work-Stays

Hands-on programs at Wells Gray Village for people who want to help build and shape the place.

You’ll trade focused work for an RV site on the land, shared meals and projects, and participation in a small end-of-month gathering.

Best for: makers, builders, technologists, creatives, retirees, and remote workers with flexibility.

Dates: May 1 – 30, 2026

By application.

Summer Gathering

An open, festival-style gathering during one of the summer weeks (dates TBA).

Come camp and get a taste of everything that Wells Gray Village has to offer. Explore the land, enjoy the programs, meet the community and make friends, visit the waterfalls, soak in the sauna, and share stories & songs by the campfire under the stars.

Best for: curious first-timers, friends of friends, families, and anyone who wants to sample the village.

Tickets & Details TBA

Portal.Place Village Summit

Th inaugural Portal.Place Village Summit will take place in September 2026 at Wells Gray Village.

About Wells Gray Village

All visits take place at Wells Gray Village, a 400-acre destination with RV sites,  camping, geodesic dome, sauna, golf course, horse corrals, gathering spaces, creeks, forest, private lake, and a vision for the future of human living.

This is not a camping resort experience in the usual sense – it’s a place you come to participate, learn, build, and connect.

 

Why Portal.Place?

Because it’s exactly what it sounds like — a portal to place.
A doorway into real land, real people, and real experiences in a time when life feels increasingly digital and disconnected.
