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.
