As a kid, summer camp was the ultimate playground. You swam in the lake with reckless abandon, crafted friendship bracelets out of old yarn and beads, and made besties with your bunkmates—pinkie-swearing you'd be BFFs for life.

Bring back that carefree spirit with an Escape to Club Getaway, the East Coast's recreation mecca for adults. Set on 300 acres in the Berkshire Mountains of Kent, Connecticut (just 90 minutes from Manhattan by car or bus), Club Getaway is your hall pass to the great outdoors.

Choose from four all-inclusive getaways: Head back to camp for three days and two nights from July 20 to 22 or August 17 to 19 ($325), July 6 to 8 ($355), or August 31 to September 3 ($409), in a shared triple or four-bedded cabin with a goodie bag, including a T-shirt, sweatshirt, eco-bottle, drawstring bag, and a $10 drink voucher.

Salute the sun with yoga classes, or shake it with other campers during Zumba. Throughout the days, you'll have the opportunity to go mountain biking, rock climbing, and even fly on a trapeze.

Slip into your swimsuits and channel your inner amphibian with scores of water sports to choose from. The club's sparkling lake will have you itching to paddle a kayak, even if you've never held an oar. The Club's staff will get you schooled in everything that you loved about camp as a kid: canoeing, waterskiing, and even wakeboarding.

If your competitive side could use a little wake-up, practice your jump-shot with a game of basketball, or, perfect that spike with a volleyball match. (Oh, and be sure and combine your love of softball with your love of beer with The Club's famous softball kegger.)

Give your body a little reprieve and awaken your creativity with some of The Club's non-sports activities. Make jewelry to wow your family in a crafts class, or sign up for a salsa lesson. Foodies (even those who will always have a sweet spot for s'mores) will love whipping up a delish, gourmet dish with chefs from the Connecticut Culinary Institute.

At the end of your day of play, free-flowing wine at dinner makes for some of the happiest campers on the coast. Kick back for happy hour, and later, late-night campfires or parties in the boathouse club, knowing that you've got a $100 credit toward another weekend.

Congratulations—you've now Kumbaya'd yourself right back to your childhood, minus the pre-teen angst.
