Camp Runamok is an exclusive six-day retreat designed for bar professionals to connect, learn, and explore Kentucky’s bourbon culture. Hosted by Lush Life Productions, the program combines distillery tours, industry education, and classic summer camp activities, fostering lasting connections in an immersive, hands-on environment.
Throughout the week, Campers tour Kentucky’s finest distilleries, engage in networking and educational workshops, and participate in campfires, paintball, talent shows, and pool parties. The program is open to bartenders, bar managers, and owners, but brand representatives are not eligible.
