Cozy reading retreat in the Laurel Highlands, PA designed for (and by!) book lovers.

Meet New Friends

If you're looking to relax with a book, connect with fellow readers, or embrace the camp experience, Camp Foreword has something for everyone. Whether you bring a cabin or come solo, you’ll meet new friends who share your love of reading.

SOLD OUT | Join the Waitlist

Spend your day exactly how you want—immersed in a good book or exploring the great outdoors with activities like (weather depending) canoeing, hiking, archery, and more.

At night, unwind with fellow campers at karaoke, savor s'mores by the campfire, or simply keep reading under the stars.

Spend Time Your Way

Nestled in the beautiful Laurel Highlands, just an hour from Pittsburgh, Camp Foreword will be hosted by Camp Soles, the perfect classic camp setting for a weekend of shelf indulgence and the first word on fun. 

Stay in cozy, classic camp cabins, each featuring two units with 8 beds (4 bunk beds) per side and a shared indoor bathroom.

Cozy Camp Accommodations

  • "Going to Camp Foreword was the best decision I’ve ever made! I think we all really needed this peaceful time to recharge!"

  • "Camp Forward was like taking a cathartic pause on life and being allowed to dedicate every moment that you wanted to being present with friends or with your nose buried in a book. It was such a welcoming community and I truly can't wait to deepen new friendships, while also seeing the group grow!"

  • "This was the most relaxing 36 hours of my year."

  • "Camp Foreword was so much fun! I traveled 6 hours to attend and it was worth every mile!"
