Most of us attended summer camp as kids, and if you’re a parent are aware of the plethora of summer camp options available for children today.  But what’s available for adults?  Do you miss the summer camp experience? Week long adult experiences such as the pricey rock & roll fantasy  and baseball camps are well-known, but did you know that there are over 800 adults-only summer camps?  There are some that are age specific, like the Senior Summer School for those aged 60+, and gender specific, such as the many camps for women only.  For just about any interest or hobby you can think of, there is some type of summer program.

Like trains?  Attend the Nevada Northern Railway Railroad Camp.  Fancy yourself an armchair detective?  Attend Forensic Science Camp and delve into blood evidence and fingerprints.  Love books? There are many programs at the Rare Book School where you can learn just about anything book-related.  Afraid of a zombie apocalypse?  Attend Zombie Survival Camp where you’ll learn survival skills.  Are you a mom that’s sending your kids off to camp?  Attend your own Mom Camp where you enjoy spa treatments, scrapbooking, and yoga along with your arts & crafts and canoeing.  There are camps that center around juggling, the circus, birding, camping, cooking, weight-loss, and prayer.
