Relive your childhood with a twist at this Grown-Up Camp in NJ

I grew up as a camp gal, and each year when summer rolls around and the weather gets warmer, I have an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia for those days.

Whether it was as a kid being a camper or a teen working as a counselor, I have such fond memories of spending those hot summer days with my friends.

If you were a camp person like me, I have to ask: what if you had the chance to go back for just one afternoon?

Well, you can in this New Jersey town.

Liberty Lake Grown Up Camp

Grown up camp is a real thing in Bordentown, NJ

Liberty Lake Picnic & Events teamed up with Needle Creek Farm Brewery to put on a Grown-Up Camp for a day of nostalgia and fun.

You will be able to enjoy classic camp activities like boating, rock climbing, pickle ball, Ga-Ga (or as some call it, “Thunderball”), archery, tag, and mini golf.

You can also take a dive into the pools, race down water slides, bounce on the lake’s water trampoline, and participate in nostalgic field day games like sack races and tug-of-war.

You can also listen to live classic rock music by ‘Strange Brew’ as you unleash your inner child.

Grown-Up Camp will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., with a rain date of Sunday, Aug. 9.
