Welcome to the new and revamped Urban Camp Weekend: UCW Summer Fest! This year, we’re bringing an exciting lineup of activities and events that will make your experience unforgettable. Get ready to savor a diverse array of flavors at our food truck festival, laugh until your sides hurt at our comedy show—where the winner will take home exciting prizes—and engage in meaningful discussions during our mental health panels. Stay active with our invigorating fitness activations, and join us in celebrating Juneteenth with special events that honor this important day. Plus, there’s so much more in store!
While we’ve added new experiences, you can still enjoy the same activities and feel-good environment that have made Urban Camp Weekend a favorite for so many.
Picture you and your friends at a house party or BBQ—now add a tent, some games, food, a DJ, surprise events, additional outdoor recreational activities, and an OPEN BAR, and you’ve envisioned the best festival experience yet. Early sign-up and arrival are strongly encouraged. Due to capacity limitations, prices will increase periodically, so we recommend paying early and arriving on Thursday. See you in June!
