What is Epic Nerd Camp?
Geek Summer Camp For Grownups
Epic Nerd Camp is a summer “campvention” (like a convention and a summer camp had a geeky baby) for adults 21+ who enjoy gaming, fantasy, and sci-fi. It’s 5 days/4 nights of playing tabletop games, live action role-playing, and doing activities IRL that characters do in-game. You’ll find out what it takes to be a hero as you learn swordplay, archery, level up your crafting skills, and even learn to fly.
Epic Nerd Camp is an experience that focuses on building community through social activities, learning “hero” skills, playing games, expressing creativity, and making the kind of lasting friendships that come from summer camp!


Our Program
At Epic Nerd Camp, you will enjoy busy, productive days following a personalized schedule that you choose, with classes designed for adult summer camp. Each day consists of small group classes and activities, as well as camp-wide adventures. For details about activities, check out our activities page.
Where Is This Magical Place?
Camp is located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains in northeastern Pennsylvania. The picturesque setting of this 550 acre property includes a large lake for our abundance of water activities.
All of our cabins include indoor bathrooms and showers with constant access to hot water. During registration you will be able to choose between all-male, all-female, or mixed-gender cabins. We take pride in our Safer Spaces protocols and will make every effort to ensure everybody is as comfortable as possible.
3 meals per day are provided, including options for Vegetarian and Gluten-Free meals for those who notify us during registration. See our Venue page for more details.

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is the airport that you will find the cheapest flight with the lowest amount of connections. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is closer, so if you can find a cheap flight into there and want to rent a car or get a ride, go for it. If you have your own plane, I think there’s an airstrip on the same road as the camp, but we’ll have to ask if you can use it. (Someone already inquired about this, so I’m just putting it out there.) Our shuttle will be running from Newark on the morning of August 15th. (Time and cost TBA in time for registration)

Our campers with limited mobility have really struggled to get around. You must be able to get yourself up and down hills, and walk about 10,000 steps a day.
As much as we would love to, we can neither promise nor dedicate any golf carts to transporting individuals. You are welcome to bring non-motorized transportation if you would like to, such as an off-road scooter or bicycle. For safety and insurance, a helmet must be worn at all times if you choose to use one.
The gravel is large. It’s like a mix of regular sized Legos and Duplos. (Did you know that Lego owns Duplo?! I didn’t, until today.)
Anyway, it’s not suitable for skating or rollerblading, bikes are fine. See FAQ regarding bikes.
You: “Oh my, but that example is oddly specific…”
Me: “Yes…. yes it is.”
Unless your dog is legally certified as a service animal, you have to do what we do, and leave your super awesome doggo at home :(((((( <-super sadface
