About Us
We bring people together
Camp No Counselors started Labor Day 2013, as a way to get friends together for one weekend escape from the stresses of adult life. Labor Day weekend 2013, nearly 100 friends (and friends of friends) travelled to a sleep-away camp for an epic Summer Camp weekend that they’d never forget.
Nearing (or in) their thirties they were finding it harder and harder to gather together. The responsibilities of adult life were starting to take over. Working around the clock and captive to their phones, they needed to recharge, get out of the city, and just have a worry-free fun weekend. Only something spectacular would get enough people to commit to a summer holiday weekend- so they rented a summer camp! What started as a small weekend getaway among closest friends, quickly became a 90-person event as the word spread. “Summer Camp for Adults… alright!”
They arrived at camp with no expectations, and at the end of the weekend, left recharged, alive and inspired by the amazing circle of new friends they had made. Disconnected from their phones, job titles and day-to-day lives, they began to truly connect with each other, as they collectively let go of responsibility to become carefree kids once again.
By the time the weekend was over, the one question on everyone’s mind was, “When can we do this again?”. Another Summer Camp for Adults weekend was quickly planned, then another, and another… Camp No Counselors was something special and more people had to experience it.
Fast forward to 2022 and Camp No Counselors now holds public camps and company retreats at many of the most incredible and beautiful sleep-away camps around the nation.
The CNC Team
We Live the CNC Way.
We bring people together.
Our core purpose is to bring people together and build better connections. It’s pretty simple really! We believe that human beings are wired to make connections and camp is the perfect place to do that.
We are unfiltered.
We encourage grown-ups to put their phones on the side-line, to escape social media and be connected in a more authentic way. Your job, your salary, your titles, they don’t matter at camp. Being the best version of yourself does.
We are a community.
Our campers don’t just come to camp for a few days and be done. You will hear us say that we are ‘one camp, one community, no counselors’. We take care of each other, we keep each other safe, we love one another and treat each other with respect. The friendships you make last long after the event ends.
We use our voices.
We do not stand on the sidelines. We believe in doing the right thing, not the easy thing. As we navigate this ever-changing world we use our voices to support movements that we believe in.
We are always listening, we are always learning and we are always trying to improve ourselves.
We give back.
Camp is a gift, we know how lucky we are to be part of something so special. As part of our commitment to human development we partner with some amazing organizations to help give back to communities that we can help and support.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Pay it forward.
Be kind. Smile. Make others feel good. The smallest act of kindness has the ability to change the world.
Pay it forward.
