Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp

Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp belongs to the newest wave of adult summer camps: the creator-run camp. It is organized around Dan Cummins and Lynze Cummins (podcast), whose audience is best described as Timesuck and Scared to Death, major comedy/true-crime podcasts (Bad Magic Productions). Instead of marketing to strangers, the camp fills its bunks from an existing community, which changes the whole social dynamic. Nobody arrives cold; everyone already shares a reference point.

Comedian-podcaster Dan Cummins (Timesuck, Scared to Death) and co-host Lynze run a full sleepaway camp for their 'Cult of the Curious' fanbase at a Pennsylvania camp property. The ticket covers cabins, meals, daily bar service, live shows including a Scared to Death performance, and daily meet-and-greets, plus archery, tubing, karaoke, and a ninja warrior course. It has run every September since 2023.

The experience

Practical picture: the format is 4-day / 3-night sleepaway, annual. 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: $1,300 USD base (upgrades $900-$3,500). That sits above the typical $400 to $1,000 weekend band, usually justified by longer sessions, specialist instruction, or headline talent. 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

The venue is in Equinunk (The Acres), Pennsylvania. Season and dates, as best we can verify: Annual each September since 2023; next edition Sep 10-13, 2026.
