Adult summer camps near Toronto help you escape from the banality of daily life in the big city for one weekend per year. These lakeside retreats give you the opportunity to don wacky costumes, participate in campfire sing-a-longs and weave friendship bracelets for you best buds. But many of these nostalgic getaways offer open bars and gourmet meals as well.
Here's a round-up of summer camps for adults near Toronto.
Camp No Counselors
For the first time ever, this buzzed-about American adult summer camp franchise is hosting a weekend near Toronto (in McKellar, Ontario) from June 16 to 19. For around $700, you get access to an open bar, camp activities - including sailing, arts and crafts and colour war - as well as chef-inspired meals.
Zombie Survival Camp
This isn't your typical adult summer camp. Rather, Zombie Survival Camp will train you for the "Zompocalypse" with lessons in hand-to-hand combat, archery, military tactics and bush craft. You'll also have a chance to test your skills during a full day zombie outbreak simulation. Zombie Survival Camp costs $300 ($250 early-bird) and is located in both Orillia and Bancroft.
Two Islands
Along with traditional camp activities, Two Islands offers acro yoga, paddle boarding and water trampolining. Apparently, eight different chefs make the trip up to Haliburton help cook up haute camp cuisine. Early bird tickets cost $340. Registration starts on June 3 and the camp runs September 9 to 11.
Jamboree LGBTQ Summer Camp
Each year, Out and About holds a volunteer-run week-long summer camp for its members - and it's super easy to join. Located on a private late near Algonquin Park, this year's camp goes from August 21 to 28 and features activities such as canoeing, sailing, swimming, a talent show and various land sports.
Canadian Adventure Camp
For nearly 40 years, Canadian Adventure Camp on Lake Temagami has been giving adults the opportunity to live like a kid during Labour Day weekend ($450). Campers can also choose to stay for a week-long session ($799). Activities here include water skiing, kayaking, rock climbing and surf biking.
