Camp Lost Garden Rules

Respect. Adults of all genders, colors, ages, sexualities, backgrounds, and experiences are welcome. We look forward to you being part of our supportive community.

Intentional Engagement. We hope that you will engage in conversations with others, try new things, and take this time to self-reflect and let Allerton be a place for mental restoration.

No Outside Alcohol. Camp Lost Garden is all-inclusive.  All activities, meals, snacks, and drinks are included.  Each night will include open bars. Please, no outside alcohol during activities or in common spaces.

Adults Only. Campers must be 21 or older to enjoy this weekend.

Fun and Relaxation. Camp Lost Garden will provide an abundance of opportunities for both.  Feel free to participate in all or just a few of the various activities. If it’s better for you to step aside and read a book under a tree in the Meadow, you are welcome to enjoy the property as you wish!

Counselor Supervision Required. (sometimes!) Some activities will require waivers and staff supervision. Campers should not participate in these outside of the designated time.
