Stanford Sierra Camp Alumni & Adult Weekends runs a weekend sleepaway in California. We file it under community. 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.
Stanford's storied Sierra Camp on Fallen Leaf Lake devotes spring weekends to grown-up programming: a Memorial Day weekend with faculty lectures and wine-paired dinners, a women's Healthy Living Retreat, and affinity weekends like the Black alumni camp. Summer remains family camp, so the adult experience lives in these shoulder-season weekends. Restricted to the Stanford community, which only adds to the mystique.
The experience
The format: adults-oriented long weekends at a full-service camp (Memorial Day Weekend, Healthy Living Retreat for Women, faculty/staff and affinity-group weekends). The weekend length keeps the ask small. Arrive Friday, hand your schedule to someone else, be home by Monday. One note: it isn't strictly adults-only. Some sessions admit younger participants, though most campers are grown.
Cost
Published price: all-inclusive lodging and meals; varies by weekend (typically $500-1,000+ USD). That's the going rate. Most all-inclusive camp weekends in North America land between $400 and $1,000. Lodging and meals are bundled here, so the sticker price is close to the real price.
