Do love the outdoors? Do you miss those carefree camp days from your childhood? Well, pine no more, because Adult Wilderness Camp (AWC) is here to fill that void.

Founded with the intention to help people disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with themselves and others, AWC will ask you to ditch the phone + pick up a dodgeball — among other fun activities.

No kids, no pets, no substances — just an opportunity to make new friends, try new hobbies, and learn new skills.

Here’s a sneak peek at what a day at camp will be like:

  • Morning — Breakfast + workshop
  • Afternoon — Lunch, free time + choose your own adventure
  • Evening — Free time + dinner with conversation starters
  • Night — Late night activities, snack + lights out

When: Friday, Oct. 6-Sunday, Oct. 8
Where: Perryville, KY

Early bird registration ends on Saturday, Aug. 12.
