The 16th Annual Mickey’s Camp For Women!

Mickey’s Camp was a long-time dream of mine. In 2001, that dream came true with the inaugural Mickey’s Camp. We pulled together 100 campers. In the past twenty years, Mickey’s Camp has enabled adults to leave behind daily pressures, explore new opportunities, perfect old skills, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow campers in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.

In 2022, women’s and men’s camps combined to raise more than $110,000 for over 60 charities. This year we are proud to present an extraordinary array of experts for Mickey’s Camp for Women, scheduled for August 14-16 at Bradford Woods Outdoor Center. The keynote will be a presentation by IU President Pamela Whitten on Monday night. Campers will be treated to a performance from Discover Broadway on Tuesday night. Your time will be filled with exciting 90-minute sessions throughout Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Options include charcuterie board making, sculpting, welding, painting, pickleball, stand up paddleboard and so much more. You may also relax at the beach, have a massage, or read a good book. Evening activities promise to be equally enjoyable as you will have the opportunity to dine on delicious cuisine, play in a poker or euchre tournament, eat s’mores around the campfire or turn the lights out early and rest up for another exciting day at camp. This year, sponsored meals include Cunningham Group, Eddie Merlot’s, Metro Diner, Mimi Blue, and The District Tap.

IBJ Media is partnering with Mickey’s Camp this year to bring exciting new activities and fun to camp. Pairing Mickey’s Camp and IBJ is a natural—Mickey and I first met at Mickey’s Camp 20 years ago. As a young lawyer working to build my network, my law firm recommended that I attend Mickey’s Camp. Little did I know how Mickey’s Camp would change my life for the better forever. My friendship, mentorship and business partnerships with Mickey all resulted from a chance meeting at Mickey’s Camp. So many more wonderful friendships and opportunities I also can attribute to Mickey’s Camp, and I know hundreds of other fellow campers who can attest to the same. 

Not only will you have the opportunity to try new activities, learn new skills and support local charities, but you will have a blast and take a much-needed break from day-to-day obligations. Learn from our new community engagement panel how to get involved with important organizations that are having state-wide impact. Tired of the political craziness?  Instead enjoy a civilized discussion on the future of education moderated by the Liberty Fund. Join business, civic and political leaders who are all working to make Indiana a better place to call home. And just maybe you will meet someone who will change your life at Mickey’s Camp this year!
