F.A.Q.
Beyond the experience of a lifetime, your ticket includes lodging, bed linens, 3 nutritious meals a day, unlimited healthy snacks, a Soul Camp swag bag (tshirt, notebook, water bottle and other goodies), and all workshops and evening activities. And of course, memories and friends that last a lifetime.
Soul Camp West tickets also include a 1:1 healing session and excursions to local national parks and other activities.
Of course! Soul Camp is the place to meet new friends, so you have nothing to worry about. Most of our campers come alone and we promise that one of the main intentions of Soul Camp is to create new friendships and foster community. Without the distraction of our cell phones, we partake in incredible activities together- there is truly nowhere for you to feel alone. We have carefully crafted the experience to allow you to get to know an intimate group of people, all the while feeling the connection to the larger community present at camp.
We have campers signed up from age 18-69 and everything in between, but the average age of our campers is 30-45. All ages are welcome! And you are NEVER too old for camp!
At Soul Camp East, there will be around 350 campers.
At Soul Camp West, there will be around 200 campers.
We recommend you plan accordingly and take time off from work to allow yourself the full experience at Soul Camp. However, we understand that life happens so if you are arriving late, we will have someone able to greet you and show you your way to your bunk! Please just email us at [email protected] if this applies to you.
Although campers are allowed to leave early, we strongly encourage you to stay for the entire experience. Soul Camp is so much fun that if you are planning on leaving early, you’ll most likely change your mind once camp starts. If you do need to leave early, please inform your counselor so we don’t go looking for you in the woods!
Yes. This camp is for anyone above the age of 18.
Nope. This weekend is meant to be rejuvenating and relaxing, and while we love your kiddos so much, we know you will be able to get the most out of the weekend if you are alone. Find a sitter, leave a love note for the kids, and come escape to Soul Camp!
If you are unable to come for any reason, your ticket is 100% transferable. There may be a price difference between two different camps, and you or the person you are transferring it to can just pay the difference.
At Soul Camp East, we have both bunk and private housing available.
Bunk housing includes upscale (for camp) cabins with approximately 10 other bunkmates. All cabins come complete with private bathrooms, your own cubbies and drawers and a private porch to take a breather.
Private rooms are equipped with a king bed and private bedroom, shared bathroom with one other individual, living room and kitchenette.
At Soul Camp West we have dorm style housing, private rooms and semi private rooms.
Dorm style housing is a climate controlled, comfortable room with up to 10 other campers and bathrooms down the hall.

Check out last year's packing list for a general idea of what to bring to camp! We will be providing you with a camp-specific packing list once you have registered.
We recommend you allow yourself a weekend free from Facebook, Instagram and your work emails. There is limited cell phone service and no WIFI at camp. There are camp computers and camp phones you will have access to in case of emergency.
We will provide you with our camp emergency contact information. Before camp, we will provide this information for you to give to your family and friends in case of emergency.
During registration, you will have the opportunity to list three to four friends you’d like to be bunked with. We’ll match you up, so you can enjoy the week with some of your friends, while meeting new people. Just like old camp times, right?
No. Your registration for Soul Camp includes your stay as a camper, all programming and food. There will be a Soul Bus leaving from NYC and LA. You are able to purchase your seat on the bus when you register.
Animals are not allowed onto the camp grounds. Sorry animals, we love you!
Nope. This is just like summer camp when you were a kid so we will not be providing alcohol.
All workshops and classes at Soul Camp are optional - you can attend as many or as few classes as you want. This is a choose your own adventure experience, some of our campers opt to take a yoga class every single period, while others mix it up and try classes and genres they have never heard of before. If you would rather relax in a canoe every period, that’s totally fine too! This is YOUR camp experience - participate as you wish!
