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.

Massage. ‘Nuff Said.

No, there’s no camp that we’ve ever heard of that has massage time, but there’s also no busy parent who can’t use a muscle rub, so your time at Camp Mama (or Papa) isn’t complete without scheduling a massage. Got time for a day trip? Glen Ivy Hot Springs. Here you can just “take the waters” or pick from an extensive list of treatments in addition to your day spent swimming, in the mud zone, the hot and cold plunge pools, mineral baths and more. If you’re using your lunch break, hit the Spa Montage Beverly Hills for a totally immersive and decadent local experience.

If your kids aren’t in camp and you gotta bring ‘em…
Frankly, we recommend this spot even if you don’t have to bring the kids. But Spa Lé La is extra fabulous because you can load up on all the services you want, while your kids are happily entertained by a Spa Lé La nanny in the impeccably clean playroom. Bliss.
