If counting sheep hasn’t been working for you, maybe some cows can lull you to sleep this weekend at Iowa Farm Sanctuary in Oxford.

The sanctuary for injured or disabled cows, pigs, goats and sheep hosts an overnight camping event this Saturday. At Buddy’s Bonfire, sleepover guests will meet all the resident animals before a rowdy game of kickball or Jenga, vegan s’mores around the bonfire and a movie under the stars. On Sunday morning, you’ll wake up with coffee and a yoga session.

Be sure to bring your own camping gear, including a folding chair, yoga mat and comfortable clothing you won’t mind getting dirty. Read more about the animals and get your tickets.
