The most epic weekend of summer since your childhood summer camp.
But in 2024 you get to choose your own Camp adventure. Wake up to trumpet calls. Sleep in ‘til breakfast with fancy pants coffee and mimosas.

9th Annual Summer Camp
Our 9th Annual Unglued Summer Camp is coming atcha with TWO FREAKIN’ WEEKENDS. Yes, we’ve earned the 5+ timers club jacket and very soon we'll be onto year ten which has gotta be a full track suit? You’ll choose from Aug 23-25 or Aug 30-Sept 1, 2024 at the beautifully campy YMCA Camp Cormorant in Lake Park, MN about 50 minutes east of Fargo.
Registration is by lottery (for realz) which was open June 6-10, 2024. Camp is now sold out but JOIN THE WAIT LIST!
​
You know that amazing feeling you’d leave with after camp was done as a kid? The kind where you realize you just made the best friends ever, ran around like crazy pants to pull pranks on other cabins, played your mind out of camp games, took time to create things with your own little hands, crushed on cute camp counselors, ate somewhat crappy/awesome food, and had the best ever carefree days? (and this time we’ve all got a much lower metabolism).
​
"It’s my therapy! 😘 I could go on a and on…BEST PEOPLE, best crafting workshops, best food and dranks, best group activities—you’ve created such a creative, magical place and it fills up my soul so that I can kick ass at #adulting the rest of the year!" - Past camper
​
Well now you’re 21+ and we’ve got you covered. This time with amazing food, mixology 101, and not-your-typical-camp-creations. The weekend is yours, but know if you earn at least 5 merit badges throughout it you’ll get yourself some fine ass awesome take-home swag.
What’s included??
​
-
Lodging in campy camp cabins.
​
-
All your food (campfire foods and cotton candy to late night tacos and damn delicious meals).
​
-
Unlimited s’mores. It’s a thing you maybe didn't even know you needed.
​
-
All your drinks (fancy brewed coffee by Thunder Coffee and everything from mimosas to beer to cocktails and truly delightful mocktails). Your cocktail-appreciating ass should note now that our crazy awesome booze beverages are served by bartenders at specified times until 11pm so you don’t jump in the lake having had too much in a pitch black thunderstorm. And we have leveled up our mocktail game. You're welcome, self.
​
-
Projects and new skills learned led by local and regional artists and makers (all supplies included as they should be). 4 full workshop sessions + approximately one million extra crafty DIY opportunities.

​
-
More.camp.goodness. that we dream up every year that we need and figure you want.

“I’m a super high strung, young-ish professional that has a hard time letting loose or getting away for a weekend. Camp allowed me to relax and recharge. I even told my best friend that I haven’t laughed so hard or enjoyed myself as much as I did at camp!” – Past Camper
​
Our mission = inspire the hell out of you to get creative, recharge, and connect with new friends from the region and beyond by bringing back those carefree summer camp vibes in one epic weekend full of adventure, relaxing, and making.
Workshops to the tune of something like: Indigo Dying, Morning Mixology, Sour Dough Bread Basics, Watercolor Painting, Wood Turning, Charm Necklaces, Candle Making, Punch Needle Mug Rug, Snarky Embroidery, Baking, Screen Printing, some kick ass food class with our Chef, and more. Lots more. Your mind will be blown. This isn't just a friendship bracelet and tie dye craft camp...although you'll have plenty of opportunities to keep it classic, too.
Let's Mastercard assess Camp tickets:
​
Place to crash = $250
(2 nights vacation - that’s like hotwiring a cheap hotel with friends)
​
All food = $120+
(low end of a vacation for like 2.5 days...but this is damn delish with snacks all the time)
​
All draaanks = $100+
(like if you’d have basic drinks...but this is talkin’ handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, Drekker craft beer, damn fine coffee from Thunder Coffee)
​
Kick ass craft workshops = $250+
(led by the best ever local makers + supplies included to create LEGIT projects and learn BADASS skills all in one place + to earn merit badges to)
​
Bonus projects = $75+
(we just can’t help ourselves)
​
Camp swag = $50+
(you gotta have somethin’ for the memories to hold you over ‘til next summer!)
​
Fitness fun = $40
(like if you’d do a day gym, but this is the real deals with choices including yoga, bootcamp, and dance)
​
Epic themed dance = $25
(if you were paying the cheapest cover for a rockin’ dance party, but this includes 2 enormous body thumpin’ subwoofers we roll in and a THEME)
​
FRIENDS = priceless
(you didn’t see that coming? old friends, new friends...can you really put a price on that?)
​
Total = $910+
But Unglued Summer Camp is just $385 and includes all your plans made for you by our crew all summer.
​
You just show up.
Our post-camp surveys include quotes from the people like:
​
“The workshops were legit as f*ck.”
​
"I haven’t felt so much like myself probably ever in my life."
​
“This was one of the most fun weekends of my life. My husband also agrees! I will be coming every year for the rest of my life!”
​
"Camp gave me an opportunity to embrace and nurture my inner child. It was one of my favorite weekends of my entire life. I will be coming back every summer until I die."
​
"If you ever want to cry over a chocolate cupcake, Unglued Camp is the place to be!"
​
“You kick ass. I came home knowing I could too. :)”
​
"I'm so full."
Do I register now?
Our registration is via Lottery that was June 6-10 and is now sold out - however join the wait list here in case of cancellations!. When it's open you may add yourself and up to 3 of your besties (if you only want to Camp it up if your ride or dies get in). You’ll be choosing which weekend you want to enter the Lottery for OR check off both if either would work for you (and thus increase your chances as well). After the first round you’ll be automatically entered into the next round Lotteries until all camp bunks are claimed.
​
LOTTERY?!
Yes. Lottery. Trust us, you can handle this and we can, too. If you didn’t hit the registration button at exactly 6pm starting our 2nd year of doing this summer camp you didn’t get in and people cried. It was stressful.
This will sound like a lot, but it's easy:
If you get in during the first round Lottery draw you’ll be notified via email from hello@ungluedmarket.com and receive a link to your email to pay for your Camp spot (and to each of your individual friends’ emails if you entered the Lottery with them).
You will have 24 hours to purchase your Camp spot.
Any tickets not claimed in 24 hours will go to our 2nd round Lottery as needed and we’ll hold further Lottery draws for any unclaimed bunks, giving each round 24 hours to purchase their spots.
You will not receive an email if you did not get in through the Lottery until the main Lottery process is complete. The email will come from hello@ungluedmarket.com so check those spam/junk/promo folders or add it to your contacts!
​
If you didn't get a chance for a bunk during our Lotteries you will later be able to enter a Wait List separately after the rounds are complete so we know you still want in on the time of your life if a spot opens. They really do open, too, since Camp is refundable through July 10 and also life happens and some campers need to transfer their ticket later on.
​
Wanna increase your Lottery chances?!
Thanks to AI this is real this year, but not in a creepy totally robotic way - but more like a fun way:
​
If you've been a past camper you'll get an extra entry in our Lottery by entering with a brand new camper (someone who has never attended Camp!). This person must actually be able to attend Camp and purchase a Camp bunk along with you if your names are drawn.
​
If you've entered the Lottery at all in the previous 2 years, but did not get drawn in the Lottery we'll be assigning you an extra chance for each time you had been in the Lottery.
​
Non-committal?
We totally get it. You can sure as hell think about it, but Camp does have a max that we are expecting to reach during the short lil Lottery! If you snooze on it, you’ll have a lame end of summer. And no, unfortunately if you were the only 1 of your 5 friends who didn’t join the Lottery right away we can’t get sneak you in (emoji sad face right there). But we will feel bad for you because FEELINGS. But there's still a wait list to get on (hopeful face).

There’s some FAQ’s further down to get your head spinning with details if you are the kind of person that loves that (I do so *pats self on back.*) Otherwise you should just go ahead and:
