Trybal Gatherings

Trybal Gatherings is a purpose-built adult camp in the community & culture lane, based in Multiple locations, USA. This is not a retreat center with a camp theme bolted on; the format is a weekend-length sleepaway with programmed activities, communal meals, and the deliberate structure of a real summer camp, aimed squarely at grown-ups.

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

Practical picture: the format is weekend sleepaway (3 nights) plus one-day city day camps and winter/tropical editions. A short sleepaway is the most forgiving on-ramp into camp life, and this one follows that playbook: a couple of nights in, all logistics handled. This is an adults-only environment: no kids programming, no family sessions mixed in.

Cost

Published pricing: $699-895+ USD overnight; $100-175 day camps. That is squarely in the mainstream band for adult camp: most all-inclusive weekend sleepaways in North America charge somewhere between $400 and $1,000. Confirm what the price actually covers. Camps in this dataset differ on whether lodging, meals, and transport are bundled, and that swings 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 practical geography changes year to year. Season and 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.
