More and more adults are reliving the summer camp experience during fall and spring.

More than a million adults a year are indulging in camps according to the American Camp Association.

"Camp Grounded" runs several locations around the U.S., including one in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

The camp's a digital detox for adults, a long fall weekend disconnected from very connected lives.

"We're definitely a beautiful combination of serious and silly," says head counselor Megan Lipsett

Silly can be serious business for camps expanding kid-friendly summer offerings into off-season getaways for adults.

"This is becoming a whole other source of revenue. They're no longer just one season businesses," says Soul Camp co-founder Michelle Goldblum.

Soul Camp offers what it calls mind, body and spirit immersion in the mountains of New York and California.

Finally, Camp No Counselors provides a grown up version of the classic kids' summer camp, with the addition of alcohol, in ten cities around the U.S. and Canada.
