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 providing to youth campers. While many of these retreats start out small, they are growing quickly into camp favorites with a committed group of attendees.
Pricing:
All programs have a sliding scale price model, and there is no difference in the accommodations of the 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 the discounted option. Your support for these programs is deeply appreciated!
Deadline:
Please, remember to register at least one week before the event. Registration will automatically close one week prior to arrival, so reach out directly to the managers if you need to register late. Registering less than one week before the event will incur a $25 late fee on top of your chosen price tier.
