All the goodness of summer camp, now for adults!

Disconnect to reconnect.

One of the ways Unirondack has really grown over the years is to recognize that we want to provide the same fun, thoughtful, community programming for adults that we have been as a youth camp. While many of these retreats start out small, they are growing quickly into camp favorites with a committed group of attendees.

Pricing for adult programs:
There is no difference in the accommodations at our sliding scale price points. We recognize that the difference in our attendees for Adult retreats ranges from those who have just graduated from high school to those who have been working with a salary for their entire life. Choose the price point that you're able, and please email us with any questions you might have. Those who select a "Supporter" level help to offset the cost of those who need financial assistance and your support for these programs is deeply appreciated!
