The ultimate Summer Getaway | June 27–29, 2025 | Kent, CT

Campfires. Coverbands. Color Wars.

This June, Maxwell channeled our inner Parent Trap and went back to Camp.

In partnership with Dionysus Group, Matchbox, Take Your Shoes Off, Dirty Taco, Othership, and The Dinner Table we brought together creative, curious, high-energy people for two days at Club Getaway.

Set on a lake and surrounded by woods, Camp offered exactly what we needed - nature and comfort, along with some mandatory organized fun.

Rustic chic cabins, deluxe glamping, lake access, zip lines, live music, chef-curated meals, open bars, and a full slate of summer camp classics.

Here’s how everything went down!

The journey begins on Friday

Since CAMP is in Kent we made sure to provide bus transportation and we did it in classic style, a throwback to the summer camps of our childhood, we reserved special yellow school buses. Guests departed from Maxwell Tribeca on Friday at 4PM and before everyone got on the bus they were assigned a (completely platonic) seat match courtesy of Matchbox.

Every seat had a gift bag from Maxwell as a surprise, courtesy of our sponsors Femme and Behave.

Upon arrival, campers checked into deluxe cabins (with heat, AC, and private bathrooms) before heading straight to dinner and an evening by the fire pit. S’mores and introductions instantly created a feeling of home and community as we broke down any social barriers and sought to create one big group of friends.

Color Wars energy in full swing — the rules really are different at CAMP

At 11PM, the party kicked off with a live cover band performance by Take Your Shoes Off, running until 2AM. We danced the night away and everyone already felt like a part of the family!

Saturday was even more fun!

But it wasn’t just drunken revelry, we had our own share of health programming too – Saturday breakfast was followed with an exclusive HIIT session led by Chase Tucker, the former Peloton instructor and coach.

Next came Color Wars: Red vs. Blue (the main event of the weekend!) and we can’t think of a better way to bond and meet friends for life than relay races, obstacle courses and face paint everywhere.

There really is no higher level of competition than a watermelon eating contest.

Campers dispersed to the waterfront for most of the rest of the afternoon and relaxed, and starting at 5pm we were treated to a waterfront DJ set from DJ Starla while we jumped off the inflatable obstacle course.

Dinner was followed by another party and some Midnight Munchies cooked courtesy of Jake Gergaros, the owner of Dirty Taco.

We had so much fun we stayed up late by the fire yet again as one of our CAMPers brought out his guitar so we could engage in an impromptu campfire karaoke session. So many fun stories were shared that night, but to get a glimpse into that you’ll have to join us at CAMP next year. 👀

Want to come next year? Stay tuned.
