CAMP MEADE OUTPOST
The Camp Meade Outpost is a new retail shop dedicated to mindfulness, slow living, and the revival of the art of letter writing. The Outpost blends a wonderful inventory of stationery, books, and artisanal gifts with a dedicated, on-site space for letter writing and gatherings.
"Camp Meade Outpost is designed to provide a welcoming and creative space where people can step back from the digital world and reconnect through the arts of reading and letter writing," said Hiata Corduan. "Whether someone wants to sit down and pen a letter to a loved one or “future you”, we want to offer the physical space and sensory tools to celebrate a slower, more deliberate pace of life."
The shop offers “Supplies for Joyful Living”, including special selections of stationery and paper goods, journals and writing utensils, wax seals and stamps, washi tape and creative art supplies, alongside a selection of books, loose-leaf teas, Vermont maple syrup, Olive Rose Chocolates, and small plants and greenery. There is a wide variety of children’s books, art supplies, puzzles and games, as well as stuffed animals, plus a special reading nook just for kids.
The space will host community letter-writing, custom calligraphy and paper workshops, and events designed to welcome analog activities and slowing down.
Open Thursday - Saturday 10am-4pm
