This Maine Adult Summer Camp Lets You Relive the Best Parts of Childhood

If your idea of a great Maine getaway involves spending time outdoors instead of sitting in traffic or scrolling your phone, this might be worth checking out. Adult summer camps have been growing in popularity, and Girl Scouts of Maine is hosting one this August that's all about slowing down, trying something new, and enjoying a weekend outside with friends.

A Weekend at Camp Natarswi

Camp Adventures for Grown-Ups takes place August 9–11 at Camp Natarswi near Mount Katahdin. The camp is open to adults, and you don't have to be a Girl Scout to sign up. It's designed to bring back some of the best parts of summer camp, but without worrying about curfews or cabin inspections.

The schedule includes hiking, canoeing, arts and crafts, campfire gatherings, cooking over the fire, and plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're looking to be active or just relax by the water, there's a little bit of everything.

A Fun Girls' Trip in Maine

One of the best parts about this event is the location. Northern Maine is hard to beat when it comes to scenery, and being close to Mount Katahdin makes it feel like a true escape from everyday life. Instead of booking the usual hotel weekend, this is the kind of trip where you can unplug, spend time outside, and make memories with your friends.

If you've been trying to plan a girls' weekend in Maine that's a little different, this definitely stands out. Registration is open through July 20, so there's still time to grab a spot before it fills up.

Not every getaway has to involve fancy resorts or packed tourist attractions. Sometimes a few days of fresh air, campfires, and time with good friends is exactly what you need. If an adult summer camp has ever been on your bucket list, or you didn't even know they existed, this Maine event looks like a fun excuse to experience summer camp all over again.
