California Adult Sober Summer Camp

Adult Sober Summer Camp

Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Camp Sober Fest at Sequoia Lake is a transformational retreat designed for people in recovery from drugs and alcohol who have a sincere desire to stop drinking and using. 

This is a drug- and alcohol-free event with a zero-tolerance policy for any substances on property.
Our Sequoia Lake retreat runs Wednesday through Sunday. You’re welcome to check in later if needed, but pricing remains the same.

Each day is filled with opportunities for connection, healing, and fun—whether you’re out on the lake kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding, exploring the hiking trails, or joining in yoga, breathwork, high ropes, archery, arts and crafts, climbing wall challenges, Olympic-style games, karaoke, or our unforgettable talent show.

All activities are weather dependent, and participation is always optional—you can do everything, or you can do nothing. What matters most is that you show up and allow yourself to be open to the experience.

At Camp Sober Fest, we embrace and celebrate all individuals—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or background. This is a safe, inclusive space where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves. Love, acceptance, and tolerance are at the heart of everything we do.

You may come as strangers, but you’ll leave as family. This is truly a retreat of a lifetime—a place to rediscover joy, community, and yourself.
