“It was great to have access to the shops and the lovely flexibility to go and do what I wanted. I am so grateful for the time of all of the counselors in making themselves and the shops available and the individual time and attention I received. They were lovely and supportive.” - Participant in 2025 Buck’s Rock for Grown-Ups

“I'm glad that the activity options followed the free-choice structure of a regular camp session, I think that's definitely part of what makes Buck’s Rock special. I was happy to rediscover bookbinding and batik, two activities that I hadn't done since my very first year at camp. I was also grateful that glassblowing lessons were available because I don't think opportunities to learn that craft present themselves very often.” - Participant in 2025 Buck’s Rock for Grown-Ups
How much does it cost?
This year, we have five different cost options, including an all-new day pass for either Saturday or Sunday!
For those staying overnight, adult campers will be staying in our rustic and nostalgic bunks. The cost for the weekend is based on whether you would like to stay in a more private double room in our Four Seasons bunk, or in a four-person room with two bunk beds in our Lodge bunk. Bring your partner, a friend who has heard about camp for years, or reunite all your old bunkmates from camp!
Four Night Stay (Thursday-Monday)
Double room in the Four Seasons bunk: $2,200 per person
Quadruple room in the Lodge bunk: $1,600 per person
Three Night Stay (Friday-Monday)
Double room in the Four Season bunk: $1,650 per person
Quadruple room in the Lodge bunk: $1,200 per person
Day Passes
One Day Pass: $350
Day Passes can be purchased for either Saturday or Sunday, May 23rd or 24th. A Day Pass gives you access to all the visual arts shops that are open from 8:45am-5pm on your chosen day, including a guaranteed 2-hour glassblowing lesson, if desired. Lunch and all project materials are also included.
Overnight costs cover all food for the weekend, bunks and linens, all materials for any project, equipment for evening activities, and anything else needed to make your weekend fantastic!
