Adult Wilderness Camp (AWC), the ultimate blend of summer camp nostalgia and wellness retreat, is thrilled to announce two new camp sessions scheduled for August 8-11 and October 24-27, 2024. 

The camps will be held at the Camp Horsin’ Around site near Perryville, located at 1159 Claunch Road.

The sessions offer adults a unique opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature and like-minded individuals in a technology and substance-free environment.

Founded in the Spring of 2023 by Joelle Riding, AWC has quickly become a haven for adults seeking to escape their daily routines and immerse themselves in outdoor activities and genuine human connections. The first camp, held in October 2023, was a resounding success, drawing campers from across the country, ranging in age from 24 to 60+.

“Our camps are designed to restore your energy, build strong connections, and let your inner child come out to play once again,” says Riding. “I met wonderful people who filled my bucket and heart. I felt seen and safe to laugh and cry and try new things. I know practically it would be difficult for adults to have a longer camp, but I wasn’t ready to come home when it was over,” shared one enthusiastic camper.

Participants in the upcoming sessions can look forward to a wide variety of activities including yoga, mini golf, ropes course, arts & crafts, archery, field day events, a murder mystery event, and a silent disco party. Campers stay in cozy, temperature-controlled cabins and enjoy three hearty meals a day at the indoor pavilion.

The cost of attending Adult Wilderness Camp is $799, with early bird pricing and payment plans available to make this enriching experience accessible to more people. Interested individuals can find more information and register on the AWC website at www.adultwildernesscamp.com.

Adult Wilderness Camp aims to provide a transformative experience that addresses the increasingly urgent need for technology-free, substance-free environments where adults can rediscover the joy of outdoor adventures and real-life connections.
