NON-PROFIT PARTNERS
TWLOHA BARRIER PROJECT
To Write Love On Her Arms and The Forest invite you to be a part of an interactive growth experience.
The Forest Family builds a wall together, decorated and dominated by our aspirations for growth, with our barriers left in the past.
VIEW MORE INFOSet an intention, develop your goals, recognize the words and symbols that create distance between us, break down your barriers, and start your Rothbury experience with a deep breath of fresh air.
This wall represents the things that threaten to keep us separated, and focuses on the ways that we strive to develop as human beings.
The Forest is built upon acceptance, kindness, freedom, respect, peace, and love. As the weekend winds down, the wall and all of our internal barriers will be dismantled, deconstructed, and destroyed. Its pieces are distributed to attendees and offered as a token of our aspirations for improvement, and a reminder that the walls in our lives are not permanent.
Set an intention and break down your barriers. Enter The Forest feeling weightless, and bring that mentality home.

MICHIGAN CAMP PROJECT
Electric Forest has expanded the Music In Schools Program to better support ALL that The Forest values - Community, Arts, Music, and Preservation. Introducing the Electric Forest Michigan CAMP Project, where HQ seeks to support local projects that align with these various core values. In 2022, the program continues to support local music programs through the Oceana County Community Fund while also funding community arts & parks projects. HQ seeks to continue spreading The Forest ethos and uplifting Michigan’s local music, arts, and nature!
show moreElectric Forest’s Music In Schools program has supported local music education since 2012. Each year, thousands of dollars are donated to help keep music part of the curriculum in Michigan public schools.
By donating money and instruments to local school music programs, Electric Forest is bridging the gap between diminishing school budgets and music program resource needs. Since its inception in 2012, Electric Forest’s Music in Schools program has donated six figures to local schools to enhance the resources available to their music departments. The Music In Schools program also offers hands-on experiences to music students, including performance opportunities at the festival, as well as on-site mentorship opportunities where students interested in music production “shadow” Electric Forest professionals during the event.
After all, Electric Forest’s home should be a place of musical discovery year-round!
