“New Camp”?

What does camp for grown-ups in 2011 look like?

Back story: I’ve gotten full blown camp-obsessed since founding Phoot Camp and Eat Retreat — because of the passion, connections, and relationships that have come out of these weekend retreats.

It’s got me thinking more broadly. In the spirit of Robin Sloan’s “New Liberal Arts” project (which was a thought study on the intellectual skills needed now), I’m wondering:

What do you think “new camp” should look like? What are the activities? Who is it for? Where is it?

  2. dangerousheize answered: it should be teenager friendly camp…
  3. sayatheblackcat answered: anything that is suitable
  4. varietyy answered: How about a camp where some pro photographers work with some young photographers trying to make it in the world? Like Phoot Camp with a twist
  5. jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk answered: new camp is an excuse to get away from routine and hone skills typically deemed as frivolous. grown up crafts like photography, for example.
  6. oneiricite answered: Lifestyle camp. Forced “finding of self”

  10. warmandsafe answered: Like Old Camp, but with cool adults. You’re in nature, in a fostering environment of friends, making things daily. Oh, and jet skis.
  11. snazsr answered: making music, dance, arts, painting for any creative, playful ppl in any inspiring environment
