Camp GLP (Good Life Project)

File Camp GLP under the creator economy's strangest and most wholesome product: the fan sleepaway camp. It is run by Jonathan Fields, Good Life Project, top-ranked personal development podcast. The format is a weekend-length sleepaway in New York, and the draw is less the archery than the chance to spend real time inside a community that normally only exists in a comment section.

Podcaster Jonathan Fields took over a Catskills-area kids' sleepaway camp each August for five years, hosting 425 listeners of his Good Life Project podcast for keynotes, campfires, color wars, and workshops on meaningful work and wellbeing. It was an early proof that a podcast audience would pay to live inside the show's ethos for a weekend. The final edition ran in 2018.

The experience

Practical picture: the format is 4-day weekend sleepaway at a kids' camp, ~425 campers. Because it runs as a short sleepaway rather than a full week, it works as a first adult camp: long enough to drop your guard, short enough to risk on a hunch. Campers are adults only, so expect the particular energy of grown-ups given permission to play without an audience of children.

Cost

When it last ran, pricing was ~$600-1,000 USD (historical). That is squarely in the mainstream band for adult camp: most all-inclusive weekend sleepaways in North America charge somewhere between $400 and $1,000. Confirm what the price actually covers. Camps in this dataset differ on whether lodging, meals, and transport are bundled, and that swings the true cost more than the ticket price does.

Where and when

The venue is in Rock Hill, New York. On timing, the operator's own line is the one to trust: Annual late August, 2014-2018 (final year 2018).
