Wish you could experience a day at Summer Camp?

This fall at Camp Roger, you can!
Join us for a full day of camp games, activities, and more.
Whether you are a veteran of Camp Roger yourself, sent your kids to camp this summer,
or it's your first time at Little Bostwick,
Grown-Up Camp is the place to be!

What will we do? Classic camp activities such as canoeing, archery, climbing wall, gimp store, and more.  An all-camp game will be held with prizes. And it wouldn't be camp without a campfire and s'mores!
Admission Fee: $125 per person includes most activities, morning coffee and donuts, a lunch sandwich bar, complete dinner service with plated food, camp songs, and a group campfire. We love your kids, but this is an adults-only event.

Add-ons include: Zipline $10, Tour of the Woods Ride with Cider $10, and Drink Tickets (yes, adult beverages will be available for purchase).
This isn't just a fun fall day for you - it's a powerful way to give kids the gift of camp.

All profits from Grown-Up Camp directly support the Acorn Fund and help us continue offering a flexible pricing model, so more families can confidently say "YES" to camp next summer. When you register, you're not just enjoying a day at camp; you're making it possible for another child to experience camp for the very first time.

Grown-Up Camp FAQ

Who Is this Event for?

This event is specifically designed for adults ONLY. You must be 18 years or older to register. As much as we love children at Camp Roger, we wanted to create a space for Grown-Ups to have a relaxing and fun day at Camp without responsibilities.

Did you go to a camp as a child and want to relive the fun? Have you never been to camp and want to see what it's like? Have you sent your kids to camp and want to see what we do? Do you have a deep love for Camp Roger and its programs? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then Grown-Up Camp is for you! We are putting the FUN into Fundraiser.

Please leave your furry friends at home for this event.

What is the schedule?

Grown-Up Camp Packing List

what will The check-in process be like?

Registration will be at Camp Roger with a flexible arrival window. We recommend arriving between 9:15 - 9: 45 am to enjoy the complete experience. We will assist with parking and provide more specific instructions as we get closer to October 25. 

Will the Camp Store be Open?

Yes! We will have sweatshirts, t-shirts, and exclusive hats on sale for $14 - $40.

Payment can be made with a credit card, cash, or Apple Pay.

How are cabin assignments made?

In addition to the people in your paid registration, you are welcome to request up to two people to be part of your cabin for the day, within that form. Those cabin groups will be used a couple of times throughout the day, but not the entire time.

For campers who do not request cabinmates, we take care to assign them to cabins in which there are other campers who have not requested cabinmates. Many of our campers come on their own, and we are mindful of this when making cabin assignments. Our counselors are very intentional about helping campers build friendships and community within their cabin group.

We will have a photographer at Grown-Up Camp, taking your cabin photo, as well as photos of you and your friends enjoying the fall weather and activities.

Will you have Health Care at Grown-Up Camp?

We will have Camp Roger staff on-site who are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Wilderness First Aid. We will also have an RN volunteering that day.

Is Food Provided?

Yes! We will be providing a light breakfast with donuts from Bostwick Bakery and a coffee bar to get you started the right way. And snacks are provided to keep you moving!

For lunch, we will have a sandwich bar that includes gluten-free food options, veggies and fruit, chips, and cookies.

Dinner will be special! Our camp staff will serve this plated meal directly to your cabin at tables in Ridge Hall. Your counselor will be with your cabin group at your table as well. A wonderful home-cooked meal will be prepared by some of our best summer staff chefs!

What if I have special dietary needs?

Please make sure to respond with any dietary needs on your registration form. This will help us prepare and provide good options for you.

Can I have my phone with me?

Summer campers at Camp Roger are required to leave their phones at home. We believe that community and nature are priorities while a camper attends Camp.

FOR GROWN-UP CAMP, we invite you to stay off your phones as well, throughout the day.  We understand that as an adult, you are different from a child who comes to our camps. But if you want an excuse to ignore social media and group texts and alerts - you have our permission! Football fans, in the back corner of Ridge Hall, we will have YouTube TV playing multiple college games throughout the day for checking scores.  

And you won't even need your phone for photos; our photographer worked at Camp this summer and is a PRO at capturing the big and small moments of our programs.  We'll send a link to the file after Camp!

What if I get homesick?

We want every camper (regardless of age) to have a positive experience at camp. To help ensure that, our counselors are trained in comforting a camper who is missing his or her home and loved ones and in normalizing these feelings. We work with campers to get them involved in activities, helping them find things that they enjoy doing, and we continue checking in with them regularly to make sure camp is still overall a positive experience for them.
