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

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.

Camp Cafeterias

Ok, on this front, we’re not so jealous of the kids. You probably have memories (not so fond) of the mystery meat and morning oatmeal at your own camp. It’s time to upscale your “camp” lunch with some healthy fare that will leave you satisfied and feeling like you did something for your mind and body. While there are loads of ways to eat healthy in LA (just one reason to love living here!) the new Gratitude Beverly Hills is a vegan meca with food so delicious you’ll never feel like your missing anything and a setting so stylish it feels like you’re on a retreat (which is like camp, with better food and minus mosquitoes).

If your kids aren’t in camp and you gotta bring ‘em…
Every one of the restaurants we picked for the Best Healthy Kid’s Meals in Town is not only healthy (and of course tasty), but is a beautiful restaurant that is as welcoming and friendly as it is healthy. Making your meal almost as relaxing as when you dine sans tots.
