On the 18th April 2024 we'd raised £1,465 with 43 supporters in 69 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We're beyond excited! The response to our new venture has been incredible. We've received numerous requests for more details, it's happening, folks!
Well, we believe it's the perfect direction for PPA. With our memberships and epic programme reaching amazing members across the globe, the recent launch of pole shorts and the updated tricks books coming very soon. One of the things we don't currently offer and are often asked is, if we teach in person.
So we've taken this onboard and got our thinking caps on and asked members if attending PPA retreats would be something they would be interested in, and that was met with a Hell Yea!
So many said that they were too nervous to go to other pole camps/workshops because of the expectations to be a certain level, but they would go to ours because they know they would be fully supported even as a very new beginner.
Mental Health Foundation 2021 report 'How connecting with nature benefits our mental health' found that 70% of UK adults agreed being close to nature improves their mood, and 49% said being close to nature helps them to cope with stress. That is something we want to get behind and embrace.
Rather than establishing yet another studio in a busy city, we are manifesting our ultimate pole glamping retreat vision in the serene countryside. This not only offers a unique accommodation option for those further afield and international travelers but also allows us to bring our vision to life in a tranquil setting.
This amazing new place will become PPA's new home, a space where we can welcome you into our world.
Picture this: you wake up to the sound of chirping birds, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the beautiful vibe of the countryside. It's like stepping into a nature-themed paradise where stress vanishes, and serenity becomes your best friend.
But wait, there's more! You'll also connect with fellow polers from different corners of the world. Imagine bonding over shared experiences, making new friends, and having a blast in an environment that's all about good vibes and genuine connections.
You'll also be able to stay just to enjoy the glamping experience espeically if you want a holiday with your family. But if you do want to pole, we'll have some awesome classes lined up to boost your mental well-being and take your pole skills to the next level. Whether you're looking for a moment of zen or itching to nail that tricky move, we'll have you covered!
With that vision in you head I want you to see where you'll be sleeping. You'll be staying in a unique glamping pod. And let me tell you, these aren't your ordinary tents... they're absolutely epic!
To give you a taste of what we have in mind, we've included a few examples of the pods we're considering below. Each one unique, ensuring that your stay with us will be truly one-of-a-kind.
So that's the sleeping sorted, but of course one of the vital things for a pole retreat, is a studio!
Our vision is to create a pole studio space that mirrors the awesome style of the pods just on a larger scale that fits into our country environment.
We're currently on the hunt for the perfect piece of land and work through the necessary permissions. The bit that takes the longest, but we're determined to turn this dream into a reality!
To be honest, this whole process is completely new to us, so we're learning as we go. But hey, that's part of the fun, right?
We know many of you are eagerly waiting for this to come to life too and have asked how you can get involved. That's why we've created this crowdfunder. We'd love for you to contribute towards the creation of the glamping pole studio. From the planning phase to the final build, we'll share and document every step of the journey with you.
