A couple of weeks ago, I headed to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania to report at a summer camp.
Early on a Saturday morning, the dining hall was abuzz.
Campers were chatting excitedly about what the weekend had in store, making friendship bracelets, tie-dying t-shirts, hiking, kayaking.
They're dressed for adventure, wearing trainers, shorts, t-shirts.
But these aren't your usual summer campers.
Camp Social is one of a growing number of sleepaway camps for adults.
I spoke to people of all ages, women in their 20s, 60s, 70s, even in their 80s.
Some of these camps are aimed at women.
Others cater to LGBT plus people.
There are camps that have more families.
festival vibes, more wellness retreat.
These types of getaways have exploded in popularity in recent years.
In 2025, Yelp reported a roughly 350% increase in searches for these weekend breaks.
And the trend is not unique to America.
Similar concepts have popped up across Europe.
Down by the lake, women were sunbathing on the sand, hanging out by the water.
And I really wanted to work out why these camps were so popular.
Something lots of people said they wanted to get away from the stress and anxiety of today's world.
I caught up with Liv Schreiber, Camp Social's founder, on a picnic table outside the main hall.
She reckons a pre-planned schedule offers a break from the constant decision-making of adulthood.
