Women's Camps: camps for adults
Women-only sleepaways, glamping weekends, empowerment camps, and adult sessions of storied girls’ camps across North America and Europe. We track 10 camps in this lane, 9 currently active. The 1 that is on hiatus or gone stay listed and clearly marked, because half the internet still recommends them.
Active camps
Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) Weekend Workshops
A 30-plus-year-old program run by state fish and wildlife agencies that gives women 18+ a full sleepaway-camp weekend at residential camps: bunks, dining halls, and rotating classes in archery, fishing, firearms, paddling, and survival skills.
Camp Atta Girl
A traveling women-only summer camp that rents classic camp facilities in several states, including a dedicated Texas edition, for weekends of archery, crafts, campfires, and cabin bonding.
Camp Château
The TikTok-viral women's summer camp in the south of France: five-night all-inclusive sessions where women 21+ (trans women welcome) sleep in château bunks or glamping tents, do crafts and pool days, and drink local wine with dinner.
Camp RoundUp
Founded in 2022 by Alison Rampa and Erica Chiseck, Camp RoundUp is an unapologetically pro-fat summer camp for 'ladies and theydies' 21+, covered by NPR for its swim-dance-play-celebrate ethos.
Camp Social
NYC social-events creator Liv Schreiber spun her Hot and Social community into the self-described #1 adult summer camp for women: roughly 400 campers per weekend at a lakeside camp in Equinunk, Pennsylvania, 2.5 hours from NYC.
Camp Wenonah Women's Weekends
Muskoka kids' camp Wenonah hands its waterfront to grown women for fall getaway weekends of canoeing, campcraft, specialty workshops, and optional massages, two hours north of Toronto.
Campowerment
Founded by former TV producer Tammi Leader Fuller, Campowerment spent a decade running expert-led sleepaway weekends where women mix 'powerful play' like ropes courses and color wars with workshops on reinvention, grief, and career.
GAL Camp (Grown Ass Lady Camp)
Grown Ass Lady Camp does exactly what the name promises: women-only glamping weekends in Texas and North Carolina built around crafts, flip cup, swimming, dance parties, and a team 'Rainbow Race Campetition' capped by a talent show.
Glen Bernard Camp Women's Weekend
The 700-acre girls' camp on Lake Bernard, running since 1922, opens each September for a women's weekend of high ropes, canoeing, crafts, yoga, and its zipline, with massage and dance thrown in.
On hiatus, unverified, or no longer running
CampJoli
A newer entrant riding the Camp Château wave: CampJoli markets summer-camp sessions for women at a French château, with the same bunks-crafts-and-rosé formula.
