Trybal Gatherings is a community camp for adults in Multiple locations, USA. It runs as a weekend sleepaway: you stay over, someone else plans the days, and the group eats together. That's the pitch, and it's enough.

Founded in 2017, Trybal Gatherings is the leading Jewish adult summer camp, drawing 20s-40s crowds for all-inclusive weekends of color war, Shabbat under the stars, waterfront sports, and l'chaims. It runs multiple regional editions (Berkshires, Midwest, SoCal, South, plus a tropical December session) and city day camps, and most 2026 sessions were 80-95% full or sold out by midsummer.

The experience

The format: weekend sleepaway (3 nights) plus one-day city day camps and winter/tropical editions. Two or three nights, all logistics handled. If you've never done an adult camp, this length is the on-ramp. It's adults only: no kids programming, no family sessions mixed in.

Cost

Published price: $699-895+ USD overnight; $100-175 day camps. 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

Locations rotate (multiple (Berkshires MA, Midwest WI, SoCal, South GA, plus NYC/Boston day camps)), so the geography changes year to year. Dates, as best we can verify: 2026: Berkshires Aug 20-23 & Aug 27-30, South Aug 10-13, Midwest Sep 3-6, SoCal Sep 24-27, Tropical Dec 10-13; NY/Boston day camps ran May-June.
