summer camp for grown-ups

Most adults look back on childhood summer camps with big grins on their faces. If you feel you’ve become too grown-up to go away to summer camp, think again. Camp is a great way to escape the phone, daily chores, and work responsibilities, and it’s an opportunity to just play.

Summer camps aren’t just for kids, but they are guaranteed to bring out the kid in you. Many adult camps cater to your play needs, no matter what your area of interest. Some are for adults only, while some offer activities for the whole family. Here is a sampling:
