Relive your childhood summer camp experience (plus booze)

Ah, the days of summer camp as a kid—playing in the pool, hanging out at bonfires and making s'mores. The worst things you had to deal with were those pesky rules (No rock throwing! No running! Where's the fun in that?). Wouldn't it be nice if life were that simple again?

Well, it can be, at least for one weekend. This summer, head north to Wisconsin Dells for Camp No Counselors—a jam-packed weekend that'll include some of your favorite nostalgic camp activities (think slip 'n slides and zip lining) plus some adult fun (an open bar and dance parties). You might want to register soon—this camp is going to be featured on the hit show Shark Tank on May 13. You have two weekends to choose from—June 9–12 or August 25–28. Registration starts at $550 for the weekend and includes lodging, all meals, an open bar and all activities. 

With this schedule, it's impossible to not get excited:

9am–10am: Breakfast (including things like French toast and granola, plus endless Bloody Marys and mimosas)

10am–1pm: Activities (choose your own activities—whether you're looking for high adventure or want to recover from your hangover with some arts and crafts)

1–2pm: Lunch (think barbecue—with hot dogs, hamburgers and veggie burgers for the vegetarian among us)

2–5pm: More activities (more choose your own adventures! Pick from activities like zip lining and slip 'n slides)

5–6:30pm: Nap/shower/relax (when was the last time relax was built into your schedule?)

6:30–7:30pm: Happy Hour (enjoy beer, wine and cocktails and play fun drinking and lawn games)

7:30–8:30pm: Dinner (grilled chicken and baby back ribs dominate at dinner)

8:30–10pm: Camp-wide activity (you haven't done a skit in decades, but it's time to let your inner performer shine) 

10pm–late night: Open bar + theme party (themes have ranged from Wet Hot American Summer to Jock Jams, so don your best outfit and get ready to party)
