Activity: 4 day Digital Detox Summer Camp for Adults

Rating: 6 of 5 stars!

Website: http://campgrounded.org/

Details: In a nutshell: This is an adult summer camp where campers are separated into villages with bunkmates just like when you were a kid for a full 4 days of fun filled activities. While you can also chose to camp in a tent with your friends, the best part of the experience was fully embracing the camping life. This included no electronics or watches. While this may seem "too hippie" for most, by the end the majority would agree it was good to disconnect for a bit.

There was an underlying theme of wellness throughout the weekend. This included opportunities to talk to counselors, go to wellness activities, and partake in a vow of silence for a few hours one night. Don't let this discourage you if this is not your scene. Typically, this is not mine either. However. sometimes reflecting without other distractions can help relieve stress and allow you to be present in the activities.

What activities? Good question. This is exactly what you make of it. There are options to spend the day reading, type writing, making arts and crafts and having a relaxing weekend. Alternatively. there were people like me that wanted to be very active. The best part about camp is running around to the point of exhaustion, having a giant meal, and passing out after camp fires that made you laughed until you cried. The activities I chose were to fitness bootcamp, slack-line, acroyoga, and Zorb soccer. The latter was impromptu and so much fun!

The rest of the weekend involved group activities like a wedding themed dance, PJ brunch, and color wars. AMAZING.

 I rated the camp above 5 stars because you could make it any experience you wanted-- if you wanted to play music in the tea yurt until what was estimated as 4am you could, or  if you were in the mood to run and dance all day that was an option as well. 

Friends: In adulthood, much like as in childhood, sneaking into the boys camp on a covert mission to steal their camp flag creates a friendship that lasts longer than the weekend. Cheers to my friends Curly Sue, Avocado Toast, Shnitzel, Sushi, Snickers, Neon, Tapatio, and Nene  : )
