O, the Oprah Magazine voted NOLS all-women’s expeditions one of the top 15 “best adult summer camps to relive your childhood.” Ranging from sea kayaking in Scandinavia to rock climbing in the Southwest, our all-female courses offer a unique opportunity to grow your outdoor and leadership skills in a supportive group of peers.

“If just thinking about spending your summer cooped up in a drab office has you nostalgic for the carefree weekends of your youth, we’ve got some good news for you: Adult summer camps are popping up all over the country. These playgrounds offer everything from arts and crafts to meditation and astronomy (with a grown-up spin, of course), so you can use your vacation days for something really fun.
