Campers Rediscovered Their Inner Child at the Ultimate Grown-Up Getaway Camp

A Unique Fundraising Event for Sierra Nevada Journeys

Tucked away in the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountains lies a one-of-a-kind escape for adults eager to break free from daily responsibilities and embrace the carefree joy of summer camp. Welcome to Sierra Nevada Journeys’ Grown-Up Getaway Camp — an exclusive retreat where adventure, relaxation, and nostalgia converge.

Last year was the inaugural event where campers stepped away from the stresses of adulthood and immersed themselves in a world of camaraderie, fun, and discovery.

They relived childhood memories with classic camp activities, including zip lining, arts and crafts, nature hikes, and exhilarating group games like slip n’ slide dodgeball, and gaga ball. Designed exclusively for Grown-Up Getaway Camp, special activities included live music by the campfire with Kat Heart, a poolside DJ, a paint n’ sip session, morning yoga, and lively happy hours.

“Our inaugural event last year was an overwhelming success, and we can’t wait to bring the magic of camp back again,” said Sean Hill, CEO of Sierra Nevada Journeys. “This year, expect a weekend filled with nostalgia, great company, and unforgettable experiences.”

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely on a combination of program fees and donor giving to deliver innovative outdoor and science-based education programs. All proceeds from the Grown-Up Getaway Camp benefited our Student Scholarship Fund. Thank you Truckee Meadows Community College and Reno Type for sponsoring this memory-making weekend.
