Chicago Summer Camp
The all-inclusive premium adult summer camp experience in Chicago.
Chicago Adult Summer Camp
Four days on a private Michigan lake, with a boat waiting and nowhere to be.
Nights spent barefoot on the waterfront, under pine trees and a sky the city has been hiding from you.
A place to put down the group chat that never decides on anything, skip the same four bars, and remember what summer used to feel like before it became a calendar problem.
This is Camp No Counselors.
——-
Two hours east of Chicago, past the last exit anyone recognizes, the road turns to trees.
At the end of it is a private lake and a camp that has been quietly doing this for generations — one of the most loved summer camps in the Midwest, handed over to us for four days.
It is here you'll experience our 3-night, all-inclusive adult summer camp.
Dozens of camp activities. Nightly socials. Daily events. Accommodation, real meals, unlimited drinks, and a team that delivers the whole thing in kick-ass fashion.
Chicago has always looked across the lake for its summers. The difference here is that nobody's booking the cottage, nobody's doing the grocery run, and nobody's on dishes.
You will leave sunburnt, short on sleep, and connected to something you didn't expect to find in a bunk bed.
There’s Something for Everyone
Our purpose is to bring people together. People are wired to make connections, and we believe there are very few places that allow you to build connections like summer camp. With dozens of activities and social experiences available we we promise that every attendee will leave having an incredible experience.
Activities
archery, arts & crafts, basketball, beach volleyball, canoeing, dodgeball, hiking, kayaking, kickball, lake inflatables, lawn games, paddle-boarding, painting & prosecco, pickleball, pool parties, tennis, rock climbing, tubing, ultimate frisbee, warrior course, yoga… shall we go on?
Experience
friendship walks, classic camp activities, classic olympic games, talent shows, live bands, DJ’s, movies under the stars, campfires, cocktail hours, lake sunsets, morning flagpole with coffee, adventure everywhere you go.
Camp Location
Our Midwest camp sits on a private lake in Decatur, Michigan — deep in the woods of the state's southwest corner, on hundreds of acres of private land.
It's a two-hour drive from downtown Chicago, and under an hour from Kalamazoo and South Bend. Hosted at a camp that has been one of the Midwest's best for decades.
This isn't the Lake Michigan strip. No beach-town traffic, no rental market, no two-hour wait for brunch. Just a lake that belongs to the camp, a waterfront that belongs to you, and pine trees in every direction.
