Tucked away in the heart of the Adirondacks, Forest Lake Camp in New York is basically adult recess with better food and fewer responsibilities. It’s where you can finally ditch the meal prep, the group texts, the laundry piles, and just breathe. If you’ve been craving a chance to unplug (mentally, not literally—we like our music too), this is the spot. At Forest Lake, we’re serving up a weekend that’s all-inclusive, dog friendly, and full of the kind of magic you didn’t know you missed.
Let’s face it. Adulting is exhausting. We all need a break where no one asks us to cook, clean, or answer emails. That’s why our adult summer camp is all-inclusive. You just pay for your spot or your cozy cabin if you’re bringing friends. Oh, and it’s BYOB, because as much as we’d love to guess your favorite drink, we don’t want to be wrong and hand you a lukewarm wine cooler.
Instead of spending your weekend in a grocery store or figuring out who’s making breakfast, you’ll be ziplining through the trees, roasting marshmallows by the lake, and eating meals that someone else made for you. Sound good? Thought so.
We built this weekend escape for grown-ups with one goal in mind: make it easy, fun, and refreshingly real. No forced bonding. No weird icebreakers. Just a lot of laughing, exploring, and moments that feel like childhood, but better, because now you can stay up as late as you want.
The private waterfront is straight-up dreamy. You can paddle out on a kayak, take a dip, or just sit and sip while the sun does its golden hour thing. Oh, and the Green Mountains? They’re not just a pretty backdrop. They’re the kind of scenery that makes you pause mid-sentence and go, “Whoa.”
Our adult adventure camp is full of the good stuff. Climb our rock wall and rediscover that yes, you are still brave. Fly across our zipline and feel that teenage thrill rush back. Or just enjoy the view from below and cheer on your new camp friends.
There’s a mix of classic camp fun and laid-back downtime, just enough to make you feel alive again without needing a nap afterward. Plus, plenty of firepit hangs where you can swap stories or sing off-key like nobody’s listening.
If you’re coming solo, amazing. You’ll find your people fast. If you’re bringing friends, they’ll thank you for suggesting something that doesn’t involve splitting checks or waiting in line for brunch. Either way, you’ll walk away with memories, a few sore muscles, and maybe a new karaoke rival.
And yep, we’re dog friendly. Because what’s a nature getaway for adults without your four-legged best friend stealing your sleeping bag? Bring them along for the hikes, the lakeside naps, and the chance to sniff approximately one million pinecones.
We’re not trying to sell you a spiritual awakening (though hey, it happens). We’re just saying there’s something really special about getting outside, meeting new people, and remembering how good it feels to just play again.
Forest Lake Camp is a retreat for adults who want something real. Something fun. Something that doesn’t involve answering emails in a hotel lobby or figuring out if the spa is extra. Here, it’s all included, except your drinks. You’ve got that covered.
Whether you’re looking for a nature getaway for adults, a weekend escape for grown-ups, or just a chance to remember what it feels like to laugh without a Zoom window in sight, we’ve got a spot for you.
So pack your sneakers, grab your pup, and bring whatever makes you happy in a cooler. We’ll take care of the rest.
