If you ever went to summer camp as a kid, you know those precious weeks spent lakeside were some of the most fun of your life. You played in the mud during thunderstorms, learned to sail and shoot an arrow, had a boyfriend you held hands with for three days before you switched to another one and sang songs you still remember by the campfire.
Now you're an adult and your life is all work and emails and commuting. And booze, which is a good addition. But Camp No Counselors wants to get that summer camp feeling back in your life. You and your friends can take a long weekend to the woods of Albany to travel back in time, with water sports, color wars, a talent show and other favorite parts of your childhood camp memories—but with the added benefits of dance parties with live DJs, co-ed cabins and alcohol at every turn. It's gonna get weird.
This summer's New York camp weekends are at Southwoods camp on May 28-31 and Sept 4-7, and you can register now. It's $475 for an all-inclusive weekend including lodging, roundtrip transportation, all meals (and plenty of s'mores), open bar all weekend, nightly theme parties, water slides, and all the fun camp activities (rope courses, water skiing, capture the flag, oh my!) you can handle. Think of the friendship bracelets! And don't worry, no scary murderers allowed—everyone is vetted through the online application process.
