MARTINSVILLE, Ind. -- When you think of summer camps, you might think of swimming and hiking with your friends when you were a kid, or a way to get the kids out of the house for a few days.
How about a camp for grownups?
One such camp, called Mickey's Camp, is right nearby in Martinsville, Indiana. The adult summer camp will take place from Aug. 15-17 for women and Aug. 17-19 for men.
The cost for the camp is $1,500 per person. A pretty penny for three days of camp, but the camp says the net proceeds will be donated to local non-profits.
So if kids aren't allowed, what do the adults do all day?
Depending on the timeframe, there are many different activities available for the men's and women's sessions. Most of them are the same, but there are a few differences. The men's exclusive activities include basketball, paintball and muzzle loading, while some of the women's exclusive activities are cake decorating, jewelry making and politics in Indiana.
For a full list of men's and women's activities, scroll to the bottom of the story.
Meals for the camps are included with the cost of registration.
Mickey's Camp is located at Bradford Woods Outdoor Center. Campers sleep in air-conditioned cabins throughout the grounds.

Adult camping isn't just in Indiana. According to Indianapolis Monthly, there are similar camps in Vermont, Alabama, Wisconsin, and three in Michigan.
