Returning September 13-16, 2019, Camp John Waters takes over Camp Getaway for an adults-only weekend of campy camping. The all-inclusive experience features meals, activities and traditional tent camping, glamping, or cabin accommodations starting at $499 per person. Alcoholic beverage packages can be added on, as well as roundtrip transport via motor coach from New York City to the Kent, Connecticut campgrounds.

Celebrity camp counselors for this trip will be Ricki Lake, Mink Stole and Pat Moran. Photo courtesy of Camp Getaway If you're the type to bring your own tent, go for it. As for me, glamping or a private cabin seem like the best bet. Cabins are co-ed unless you book a full cabin for you and your friends, which is easy to do with cabins set up to accommodate two, three, four or six people.
Sounds Divine to me.

Photo by Coeur d'Alene Resort The idea of timeshares makes me cringe—except in this instance. When temperatures drop this January in Idaho, the popular lakeside Couer d'Alene Resort transforms its infinity pool into a giant hot tub for Hot Winter Nights, a unique experience for beyond-frigid evenings. Here's what's great about it: From 4:00 to 8:00 p.m., the experience is family-friendly. But promptly at 8:00 p.m., the children will be asked to leave as it becomes an adults-only oasis in the falling snow, complete with a DJ and cocktails.
Reading about this event brought up a point I've made to hoteliers on several occasions and even mention in this review of Travaasa Hana. If a property doesn't have a dedicated adults-only pool, hot tub or other experience, for Pete's sake, create one! Adults will appreciate the gesture of a designated time of their own, while those traveling with children won't feel like they're being denied access to a killer view or other unique selling point. Plus, any time a hotel or resort can guarantee a 21-and-over crowd, they could benefit tenfold in liquor sales. Heck, that could happen even if it's just me sitting in that pool all by my lonesome. |
