Unearthed

April 18th-April 22nd

OUACHITA MOUNTAINS
MT. IDA, ARKANSAS

Imagine holding a crystal in your hands that has been hidden beneath the earth for millions of years—one that you uncovered with your own hands.

Welcome to Unearthed, a crystal hunting adventure in the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World. We'll spend our days digging for hidden treasures, exploring the Ouachita Mountains, and disconnecting from the everyday. Along the way, you'll enjoy optional yoga, meaningful connection, mountain air, and plenty of time to simply relax.

Come for the crystals.
Leave with unforgettable memories.
