Camp Grounded
If all your technology is proving too much and you find yourself wishing for simpler times, this summer camp for adults is the closest you'll get without using a Delorean.
Getting away from digital world can be hard these days. Even listening to your computer, when it tells you to take a break and go outside, involves paying attention to yet another electronic device. Camp Grounded offers 200 overworked adults the chance to get away from it all and experience the type of great outdoors recent Wes Anderson films would kill for.
Taking place in Camp Navarro in Anderson Valley in California over a weekend in June, the camp has a wealth of nostalgic past-times for physical activity starved adults to get involved in: yoga, star-gazing, rock climbing, laughing contests(?) and not forgetting the compulsory toasted marshmallows. This kind of nostalgia for an era the target market are largely too young to have experienced directly and whose only point of reference is in films is an interestingly direct attempt to capture an ‘authentic’ non-digital experience.
