Why should kids have all the fun?

Many of us have found that the most lasting memories we have from childhood camp experiences are the relationships and connections that were forged in a unique setting while sharing new experiences together. With that in mind, the Summer Camp for Grown-Ups began at Shrine Mont in 2012 to give grown-ups an opportunity to make new connections and experience new things in a relaxing and special environment. Join us for our 14th year!
During programming times, we’ll meet with guest speakers in different Shrine Mont locations, depending on the topic. Free time activities may include: swimming, napping, “porching” with new friends, golf*, wine tasting/tours*, antique shopping*, hikes, reading a book, games– the choice is yours! All activities are optional and campers are welcome to spend time doing whatever you want to do to relax and enjoy all that Shrine Mont has to offer.
