Grown Up Summer Camp 2026

Sunday, June 28 - 1:00-7:00pm

*For Campers Ages 18 and up

Step into a summer afternoon where play comes easy, the air feels a little lighter, and being a kid again is not only allowed—it’s encouraged.

This one-of-a-kind adult summer camp invites you to slow down, get outside, and reconnect with the simple joys of nature and curiosity. Spend the afternoon exploring the land at your own pace or jumping into hands-on experiences designed to spark creativity and wonder. Learn the art of foraging edible plants, try your hand at fire starting, and meet the goats and alpacas up close. Whether you’re crafting cordage at a picnic table, playing a round of predator-prey tag, or just wandering and taking it all in, there’s no wrong way to do camp.

Throughout the day, you’ll find a mix of open exploration and short, optional "break time" activities—everything from butter making and backyard chicken basics to sprouting jars, gardening tips, hammer dyeing, and more. Prefer some unstructured fun? Dive into giant bubbles, chalk art, volleyball, or simply relax and enjoy the space.

For those looking to enhance their experience, limited-capacity add-ons offer a deeper dive: unwind with yoga alongside alpacas led by local instructor Chloe Wright, or learn the ins and outs of kombucha brewing from our Education Manager, Katie Flannery.

As the afternoon winds down, gather together for the after party bonfire—where the camp magic really glows. Enjoy wood-fired pizzas fresh from the oven, toast s’mores over the fire, and sip craft beer, wine, or non-alcoholic options as the evening settles in. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and grown-up indulgence.

No sleeping bags. No curfew. Just a chance to rediscover the joy of summer camp—on your own terms.

Pssst, don’t forget your allowance for the Camp Gift Shop!
