Soul Camp

Soul Camp is a wellness camp for adults in New York. It runs as a longer, multi-night stay: you stay over, someone else plans the days, and the group eats together. That's the pitch, and it's enough.

Founded in 2014 by Michelle Goldblum (Garside) and Alison Leipzig, Soul Camp ran bicoastal 'sleepaway camp for the soul' weeks packed with yoga, sound baths, workshops, and color wars. The original East/West events wound down around 2019 as the founders focused on their Soul Camp Creative agency (soul.camp now redirects there), but the camp returned August 2025 as a hosted week at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. Watch for whether the Omega partnership repeats in 2026.

The experience

The format: week-long sleepaway (revived as a 5-night program at Omega Institute). It's a longer stay. The awkwardness burns off in the first day or so; the rest is pure camp. It's adults only: no kids programming, no family sessions mixed in.

Cost

Published price: Omega program tuition plus lodging, roughly $500-1,500+ USD all-in. 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 Rhinebeck (Omega Institute), New York. Dates, as best we can verify: revived August 10-15, 2025 at Omega Institute; 2026 edition unconfirmed.
