Zombie Survival Camp is a sports camp for adults in New Jersey. 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.

The tongue-in-cheek New Jersey camp where adults learn genuinely useful apocalypse skills: crossbow and knife throwing, first aid, bug-out bags, firearms with NRA-certified instructors, and the house martial art 'Zombitsu.' The site and Facebook presence have gone quiet, so current operations could not be confirmed. A similarly themed weekend runs at YMCA Camp Bernie in October 2026.

The experience

The format: day and weekend overnight camps on a 60-acre training site. 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: roughly $150 (day) to $400+ (weekend) USD historically. That's the cheap end of the market, where most all-inclusive weekends run $400 to $1,000. Cheap here usually means volunteers or subsidy, not corner-cutting. 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 Whiting (Pine Barrens), New Jersey. Dates, as best we can verify: historically spring/fall weekends; recent dates unconfirmed (a separate YMCA Camp Bernie 'Zombie Survival Training Camp' runs Oct 23-25, 2026).
