Camp Grounded is a sober, phone-free camp for adults in California. It runs as a weekend sleepaway: you stay over, someone else plans the days, and the group eats together. That's the pitch, and it's enough.
The camp that invented the digital detox genre: founded in 2013 by Levi Felix, Camp Grounded collected phones at the gate and gave grown-ups camp names, typewriters, and analog play across roughly 15 sessions in four states. It went dark after Felix died of brain cancer in 2017 at age 32; Forest Bronzan acquired the Digital Detox brand and briefly relaunched it in May 2020. As of August 2026 digitaldetox.com is unreachable and no recent sessions can be found, so it is best considered defunct, though its DNA lives on in camps like Camp Reset.
The experience
The format: weekend sleepaway (3 days, tech-free, substance-free, no work talk, camp names). Two or three nights, all logistics handled. If you've never done an adult camp, this length is the on-ramp. It's adults only: no kids programming, no family sessions mixed in.
Cost
When it last ran, tickets were $570-800 USD historically. That's the going rate. Most all-inclusive camp weekends in North America land between $400 and $1,000. Check what the ticket covers before comparing camps. Whether lodging, meals, and transport are bundled moves the true cost more than the ticket price does.
Where and when
The venue is in Mendocino / Anderson Valley (historic sites in 4 states), California. Dates, as best we can verify: no 2025/2026 dates found; original run 2013-2017, brief relaunch May 2020.
