Camp Sober Fest runs a sleepaway program in Texas / California. We file it under sober, phone-free. It's in this directory because it's a real camp, with bunks and a schedule and the whole apparatus, built for adults on purpose.
A drug- and alcohol-free sleepaway camp for adults in recovery, mixing classic camp activities with meetings, workshops, and campfire fellowship at a lakeside camp in the Sequoias. Explicitly for people with a sincere desire to stay sober, not just a dry-curious crowd. Draws campers from across the country for its multi-day California flagship.
The experience
The format: multi-night sleepaway camp, multiple locations. Session lengths vary, so check the current calendar before you commit. Adults only, which changes the tone more than you might expect. Everyone there chose it for themselves.
Cost
Published price: several hundred USD (tiered lodging). There's no simple rate card, so ignore any number you see on a third-party site and ask the operator. For calibration: most all-inclusive adult camp weekends in North America run $400 to $1,000.
Where and when
It runs in more than one place (Texas, California), so check which edition is closest before pricing flights. The current schedule: Texas edition Mar 12-15, 2026; Sequoia Lake, CA edition Aug 19-23, 2026.
