Camp Mustache is run by Mr. Money Mustache (Pete Adeney), mrmoneymustache.com, flagship FIRE-movement blog with millions of readers. The format is a weekend sleepaway in Washington, and the ticket is really a pass into the community. The archery is set dressing.

A woodsy Washington-state lodge weekend where about 50 devotees of the Mr. Money Mustache early-retirement blog talk index funds around the campfire, with blogger Pete Adeney himself attending for Q&A sessions. Note: it's organized by superfan readers rather than Adeney directly, making it a fan-run camp anchored to a creator. It has run nearly every Memorial Day weekend since 2014 and spawned regional spinoffs.

The experience

The format: 3-night weekend sleepaway, ~50 campers, Memorial Day weekend; spinoffs incl. Camp Mustache Toronto. A short sleepaway is the easiest first camp: long enough to drop your guard, short enough to gamble on. Campers are adults only.

Cost

Published price: $200-400 USD (all-inclusive, non-profit). That's the cheap end of the market, where most all-inclusive weekends run $400 to $1,000. Cheap here usually means volunteers or subsidy, not corner-cutting. Lodging and meals are bundled here, so the sticker price is close to the real price.

Where and when

The venue is in Pacific Northwest lodge, Washington. Timing, straight from the operator: Annual since 2014; 2024 and 2025 editions confirmed.
