Do you dream of being a kid again for a few days and re-living your summers at sleep away camp? Or, maybe you never got to go as a child and want to experience it now? Former Good Morning America host, Joan Lunden, makes that happen for women every year at Camp Reveille in Naples, Maine.

My sister and I traveled up to Maine three years ago and had an amazing experience “roughing” it at Camp Reveille.

Roughing it is a relative term…While we stayed in the same cabins as the boys who attend Camp Takajo (which is owned by Joan’s husband, Jeff Konigsberg), for Reveille campers, our beds were made for us with soft linens and throws from Joan’s line of home goods. And, while we did have to walk outside to use the shower room, once there we found it stocked with Murad and Warren Tricomi products. The food was delicious and healthy…and I don’t think the boys at Takajo get to have wine with dinner! We even got facials courtesy of Murad and met with a dermatologist who performed a skin cancer check.
That sounds like so much fun! I will have to file this away for later;)
Hi Sandy! I am surprised at how fun this looks. I think I would definitely do this with a group of girls. This summer is out, but it could be a fun trip for later.
Hi Sandy I remember reading about this a while back..thanks for the reminder. What an amazing idea, I think every woman/mother deserves a getaway and what could be more fun than palling around with a bunch of other ladies. Looks and sounds like an absolute blast!
How fun! A bit of a jaunt from Washington state, but so glad you shared.
Like many woman in America, I often identified with Joan. We carried our babies together as working Moms. I thought about visiting GMA when I was in NYC on business trips years ago. As always, there was a lack of time, and the thought never came to fruition. She has been, and (per your post today), continues to be such a wonderful advocate for women.
Thanks, Sandy!

Sandy,
My daughter and I had our own sort of camp like this when we went to Mexico~ I think it is important to connect and to treat one another to down time.
It is nurturing for everyone. I will have to keep this for the future travel and treats file.
