We’ve all been there—dreaming of a summer retreat that caters exclusively to moms. If you think summer means relaxation, you may not have kids. While we cherish the time spent with our children during their break, family vacations, the endless shuffle of day camps, and the quest to keep them entertained for three long months can leave us yearning for a getaway ourselves. Who hasn’t wished for a break from the summer chaos?
Fortunately, the brilliant minds behind the popular Facebook page “MomLifeUnplugged,” Rachel Greene and Nora Fields, understand the summer struggle. They propose an ingenious concept: a “sleep-away camp for moms.” Count us in! We’re ready to sign up.
They’ve humorously dubbed this fictional haven “Camp Sip & Relax.” Imagine arriving at your own pace—no more frantic packing or racing against the clock. Just show up whenever you feel like it. Blissfully simple, right?
Among the many offerings at this imaginary camp, the highlight is the chance to escape from our phones. “Picture a table where you check in your phone with someone who’ll keep an eye on it all day; if there’s an emergency, they’ll let you know.” How often do we barely get out of the driveway before our devices start buzzing with trivial issues? Not at Mom Camp!
What’s more, the schedule is packed with rejuvenating activities that help us reconnect with ourselves. “Wake up, mimosas. Breakfast, mimosas. Brunch, nap. And don’t forget the all-male review from the neighboring camp!” Rachel and Nora propose that the ideal duration for this retreat is ten days, allowing us to truly recharge while reminding our families of our vital role at home. After all, a little time apart can help everyone appreciate each other more.
While “Camp Sip & Relax” sounds catchy, they’ve also created the ultimate name for this whimsical getaway: “Camp Where-Can-I-Get-My-Wine-In-Peace.” Perfect! We’re ready to mark our calendars.
