No kids allowed! These ’90s summer camps were a haven for adults to escape the real world
- Camp Gone to the Dogs held its fifth year in Putney, Vermont, hosting 180 humans and 250 dogs for six days of training and activities.
- The camp evolved from a successful children's camp bought in 1946 that transformed in the late 1970s into the first summer camp for adults.
- Adults at the camp traded their real-world jobs for weekends filled with dancing, lake swims, and socializing despite initial skepticism.
- One camper humorously remarked that while there might not be a chocolate mint on the pillow, at least there is a pillow to rest on, and another noted that approaching the camp signals a strong sense of familiarity for visitors.
- The camp's popularity suggests a growing trend for adults seeking community and relaxation in nostalgic summer camp settings alongside dog-focused activities.
