Knit Camp is an arts and crafts camp for adults in Minnesota. It runs as a sleepaway program: you stay over, someone else plans the days, and the group eats together. That's the pitch, and it's enough.
Yarn shop Dappled Fern Fibers runs 'Knit Camp' out of rustic cabins on Devil Track Lake near Minnesota's Gunflint Trail, now in its fourth year and facilitated by owner and life coach Dorothy Broomall. Days follow a true camp rhythm: morning knitting circles, paddles and hikes, picnic lunches, home-cooked suppers, and campfires. Spring and fall editions keep it recurring rather than one-off.
The experience
The format: recurring sleepaway retreat (spring and fall editions). Session lengths vary, so check the current calendar before you commit. It's adults only: no kids programming, no family sessions mixed in.
Cost
Published price: sold as a retreat package incl. lodging and home-cooked meals. 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
The venue is in Grand Marais (Devil Track Lake, Gunflint Trail), Minnesota. Dates, as best we can verify: Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 sessions listed.
