How to Act Like You’re in a Kids Camp (When You’re a Grown-Up)

Read next

The kids get to go to camp… but why don’t we? And not family camp (though this one is amazing) where you are with your kids, but camp where parents get to do arts & crafts, sports, hang out with friends, eat endlessly and have a fabulous time, without a care in the world. While it might not be possible to check out of your life & responsibilities for a whole week, here’s how you can create a camp experience for yourself, one activity at a time.

Instead of Sleeping in a Sweaty Cabin…

Kids at sleep-away camp fall asleep in sweaty wooden boxes. We found a much better grown up alternative: this infrared sauna in Woodland Hills. At Skintuition’s new SWEAT center, you can experience a restful and totally relaxing sweaty session in your own private little (wooden box) oasis. Because it’s infrared, the air doesn’t get as hot, but you find yourself sweating up a storm and shedding actual toxins, along with your toxic thoughts. It’s like a fabulous workout, without, you know, the effort. And the zen environment forces you to check your worries at the door. Put all your parental planning on hold: you don’t even need to bring water, as they provide you with water bottles and even healing water.

If your kids aren’t in camp and you gotta bring ‘em…
Wi Spa in Koreatown is set up so that families can spend a spa day together-whether it’s enjoying spa services, sweating in mineral saunas or simply relaxing on a nap mat in the family area.
