Do you long for the days of sleeping bags, roasting marshmallows over a campfire and doing arts and crafts? Summer camp isn’t just for kids anymore. Relive your childhood at one of these summer camps for grown-ups:
Camp Bonfire
Located two and a half hours from Philadelphia and New York at Lake Owego Camp, escape the daily grind and spend a weekend enjoying all of your favorite camp activities. Take part in canoeing, ziplining, dodgeball, archery, making friendship bracelets, a talent show, camp fires with s’mores, hikes, hammocks and more. Camp Bonfire’s 2015 session runs June 12–14.
Camp Grounded
This two-session camp is set among the Redwoods at Northern California’s Camp Mendocino. Turn in your phone, tablet and laptop to truly unplug during the four-day adventure. Enjoy more than 50 activities including color wars, kickball, capture the flag, a camp dance, healthy meals, face painting and stargazing.
Camp Wandawega
Accommodation at Elkhorn, Wis.’s lakeside getaway includes airstream trailers, teepees, rustic cabins and a three-story tree house. Camp Wandawego allows campgoers to make their stay more personal. In addition to classic camp activities, take part in Michelin-starred dinners complete with bourbon pairings.

Stay at Kona Village on the Big Island of Hawai’i and you may think your experience consists solely of private, residential-style luxury and perhaps the occasional fresh pineapple, but Rosewood Resort has something else a little special. More specifically, Kona Village has its very own Mai Tai Mile, where guests can find four unique and different takes on the Mai Tai. Each distinct drink is inspired by its setting and comes with its own story.
