Welcome to Sol y Luna, where we’re devoted to creating enriching, transformative experiences for families of all shapes and sizes.
In today’s fast-paced world, nurturing and sustaining relationships can feel like an uphill journey—especially with children in the mix. It requires unwavering commitment, thoughtful planning, and abundant resources to carve out cherished moments of connection as partners, while also meeting the demands of raising our beloved kids.
Yet, the reality is clear: traditional relationship structures are faltering, and the impact is often felt most acutely by our youth. Children experience the effects of fractured relationships, often marked by decreasing commitment, empathy, passion, and love.
Let the statistics tell the story:

Which of these figures speaks to you and sparks the desire for change?
For parents of young children, the painful reality is that 20% of couples separate within a year of welcoming a newborn. What leads to these heartbreaking outcomes?
Research shows that intimacy fades, communication breaks down, and conflicts multiply, contributing to separation.
Becoming a parent is a life-altering journey. The moment we cradle our newborn, we forge an unbreakable bond and a promise to protect and guide them. But where does the passion go over time? When does the spark fade? And how do we end up in conflicts that echo into our children’s lives?
Moving from individual care to a relationship of partnership and parenthood is profound, opening doors to new layers of self-discovery. Consider the insights that emerge when life shifts from ‘just us’ to the intricate dance of family.
At Sol y Luna, we understand the complexities of parenthood and relationships. Founded by a mother who has weathered both harmonious and challenging times, we know what it takes to build thriving connections.
“It takes a village to raise a child,” as the adage goes—and we live by this truth. We’re dedicated to providing a space where couples with children can nurture their relationships, while children play, learn, and connect with their peers.
Sol y Luna is more than just a sanctuary; it’s a community for healing, growth, and deeper connection, especially for those navigating the complex path of parenthood.
In creating this safe space, our Wonderland Kids and Teens Camp is led by carefully chosen facilitators and volunteers, all of whom undergo background checks. Trauma-informed and led by educators or medical professionals, our team ensures a nurturing environment. All facilitators and volunteers are trained in Pediatric First Aid and CPR.
If you’re a couple with children, or a single parent, we warmly invite you to join us. Reserve your family tickets today and begin your journey towards rekindled relationships, deeper connection, and enduring family bonds.
