Sports & Fitness: camps for adults
Pro-team fantasy camps, action-sports weeks, ski racing, surfing, and gymnastics for adults. Real coaching, real facilities, and a locker with your name on it. We track 12 camps in this lane, 10 currently active. The 2 that are on hiatus or gone stay listed and clearly marked, because half the internet still recommends them.
Active camps
Boston Red Sox Fantasy Camp
The Red Sox flagship adult baseball camp at their spring training complex: eight days of daily games and coaching from former Sox players, with at least one game inside JetBlue Park, the mini Fenway.
Camp Runabout
An all-inclusive Poconos summer camp built for the run-club crowd: mornings open with scenic group runs, then dissolve into zip lining, paddleboarding, ropes courses, and arts and crafts.
Chicago Cubs Fantasy Camp (Waveland Events)
A week of living like a Cub: personalized on-field uniforms, teams coached by pairs of former Cubs players, and daily games under the Arizona sun.
Club Getaway (Camp Getaway adult weekends)
The granddaddy of the format: a 300-acre permanent camp resort in Connecticut's Berkshire foothills that has run programmed adult weekends since the 1970s, later starring in Bravo's Camp Getaway.
Endless Summer Surf Camp (Adult Camps)
Running since 1992, this San Clemente institution holds dedicated adult sessions where campers sleep in tents at the fabled San Onofre surf break and take daily coached surf lessons with meals cooked at camp.
Mahre Training Center Ski Camps
Olympic champions Phil and Steve Mahre personally coach adults through gates, drills, and nightly video review at their long-running training camps.
Philadelphia Flyers Alumni Fantasy Camp
Run by the Flyers Alumni Association for twelve years, this camp drafts recreational players onto four teams coached by franchise legends.
Tampa Bay Lightning Fantasy Camp
Adults 21+ of any skill level get coached by Lightning alumni and compete for a Fantasy Camp Championship Cup on the team's NHL ice.
The Original Adult Gymnastics Camp
Fifteen years running, this is the grassroots gathering of the adult gymnastics community: a full weekend of open training, coached rotations, and skill clinics for grown-ups who never stopped flipping (or just started).
Woodward PA Adult Camps
The legendary action-sports camp opens its parks to the 18+ crowd for dedicated three-night sessions: skateboarding, BMX, mountain bike, parkour, scooter, and roller skating with pro coaching and foam pits to fall into.
On hiatus, unverified, or no longer running
Zombie Survival Camp
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.
Camp Nerd Fitness
Steve Kamb's Nerd Fitness community gathered over 400 members from around the world in the north Georgia mountains for camps blending workouts, quests, and tabletop nerdery.
