After spending a week at Experience Camps in Georgia, I’m more convinced than ever that every adult needs to go to camp. In this episode, I reflect on what it meant to step away from my daily routine, disconnect from social media, and fully immerse myself in a world built around connection, play, and presence. Whether you’re volunteering at a cause that speaks to your story or attending an adult sleepaway camp just for fun, the experience is unlike anything else. From not having to think about your schedule to making real friends with people who just get you, camp offers a much-needed reset for the body and mind. I share the unexpected benefits and why I think putting your life on pause might be the best thing you do for yourself all year. If you’ve been looking for a sign to go to camp, this is it.

Key Takeaways:

• Structured time off means not making any decisions and just getting to be present
• A pause from your life with jam-packed, fun-filled days means also taking a pause from social media and the noise of the outside world
• Less external feedback means you have to turn inwards and connect with yourself
• The power of play and how we lose our playtime as we get older
• Every adult needs a place where they can connect, play, and be present
• Shared experiences and vulnerability with a side of instant acceptance is the perfect recipe for making friends
