Get Ready for Camp Vacaya: Where Fun and Fantasy Meet
This year, VACAYA is taking the 2025 Mexico Resort trip to a whole new level with their exciting Camp Vacaya theme. Think over-the-top fun, cheeky camp vibes, and a playful atmosphere that invites you to embrace your most outrageous self. Whether you’re an experienced camper or a first-time adventurer, Camp Vacaya is a place where you can let your hair down, unleash your creativity, and dive into a world of colorful, immersive experiences.
From hilarious, themed events to interactive games and camp-inspired challenges, every moment of this trip is designed to make you feel like the star of your own adventure. Picture yourself strutting your stuff at a fabulous costume party, teaming up with new friends for a spirited scavenger hunt, or engaging in camp competitions that are as much about laughter as they are about fun. With a mix of lighthearted, inclusive activities and plenty of opportunities to connect with other LGBTQIA+ travelers, Camp Vacaya is more than just a theme — it’s the heart of the experience.
Whether you’re dressing in your most fabulous camp attire, enjoying unique performances, or taking part in playful activities, this trip promises to be a celebration of spirit, camaraderie, and creative expression. This is not your average getaway — it’s a trip where the fun never stops and every day is an opportunity to play, connect, and make lasting memories in a totally one-of-a-kind setting.
Smiles, Everyone, Smiles! Welcome to CAMP VACAYA at Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta! The V Team will welcome you as you arrive at the resort for a breezy check in. Your V Team Counselors are easy to spot in our VACAYA camp shirts and we’re eager to make your vacation dreams come true. Be sure to check out one of the meetups to find your tribe… they’ll be invaluable in helping you navigate the larger LGBTQIAPK community as the week builds to crescendo. Your first Mess Hall Dinner is on tap for tonight. Will you choose Asian, Italian, Mexican, or Brazilian? Whichever you fancy, be ready for our signature “This is Me” party afterward. Flash that smile, say hello to all your new camp friends, and get ready for a good ol’ time!
Our first V-Dance of the week takes place this afternoon! So, be ready for the unexpected! But before that… feeling adventurous and want to avoid tan lines and a sand-filled swimsuit? Then join the campers at The Bare Den Bunkhouse and go au natural at their clothing optional pool! If being naked isn’t your definition of utopia (and we totally understand if it’s not), maybe try the big pool or a little beach time. With so many pool and beach loungers to choose from, you’ll never be without a spot to grab some sun or shade, whichever you choose. And no matter your “state of dress” for the afternoon, we’ve got something to suit just about everyone. After dinner at one of our Mess Halls, don’t miss VACAYA’s signature entertainment in The V Theater. Tonight will also be the first night of VACAYA’s infamous RLD.
After a fun-filled day of (high) camp activities, including Resort Director Danny’s Sissy That Walk Competition, tonight, we’re turning back the clocks to the 80s with a very special video party dedicated to (nearly) everyone’s favorite decade of music!
We’ve reached the midpoint of our time here in Mexico and the choices for today abound! Will you take advantage of one of the sightseeing excursions? Or are you looking to expand your friend circle through one of our signature social mixers? Here, you literally can have it all.
Today could be the day you dive into a life-changing adventure with Jet’s Naked Beach Tours! We’ve whipped up a sizzling lineup of tours exclusive for Vacayans – some clothing optional and some where clothing isn’t just optional, it’s forbidden. So grab your sense of adventure (and maybe leave the rest behind), and let’s get cheeky on the water! Extra charge.
Tonight, join us for campfire ghost stories on the beach before heading back to your bunkhouse, where we’re pretty sure late-night whispers and giggles will abound, secrets will be shared, and bonds strengthened.
The Vallarta sun shines brightly today as everyone settles in and gets into the spirit of CAMP VACAYA. Is today the day you experience the Rock Spa’s pampering treatments or maybe you just need a steam, hot tub bubbles, or a cold plunge? No matter your vice, the spa facility has it all. Or are you looking to explore PV a bit? Can’t decide? We don’t blame you. This day is all yours and there’s so much to see and do!
Tonight, prepare for the Ultimate Bunkhouse Battle as we present THE CHALLENGE – a series of athletic and mental challenges that will push you to the limits of fun as we test your ability to work as a team, solve problems, and ultimately win fabulous cash and prizes, and of course, the honor of being our Bunkhouse Champions! The beauty of THE CHALLENGE is that it cements the sense of belonging VACAYA is known for with our vibrant tapestry of experiences and LGBTQIAPK friends woven together through shared joy, nods to bravery (and silliness), and the exhilaration of simply being carefree. THE CHALLENGE will take place rain or shine (and let’s face it, rain is more fun!).
It’s Halloween and VACAYA is ready with both tricks AND treats! We’ll do sunset trick or treating before hitting the Mess Halls, then tonight, don’t miss our Halloween Costume Extravaganza before we dance the night away. You’ll have the chance to walk away with our coveted “ZZOLO” Award (and a sizable future trip credit!). We know… many of you have NO IDEA what a “ZZOLO” is, but you will soon enough. And we promise… it’s worth it!
Today is hands down the most special day of our week here in Mexico. It’s the start of DĂa de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead), Mexico’s celebrated holiday for those who’ve moved on to the spiritual world. Join us for a vibrant celebration at our Day of the Dead V-Dance, where life and death converge in a colorful homage to tradition! Immerse yourself in a world filled with enchanting decorations – sugar skulls, marigolds, and papel picado adorning our Mexican Village, creating an atmospheric tapestry. This is an afternoon and evening to honor, remember, and celebrate the lives of loved ones while reveling in the joy of life!
As CAMP VACAYA draws to a close, the memories are sure to linger, leaving Vacayan campers with a profound sense of nostalgia and a yearning for the magic to return as soon as you get home. CAMP VACAYA isn’t just a destination, of course; it’s a celebration of youthful spirits, friendship, and the joy of living in the moment. The laughter, the connections, and the adventures have forged an unbreakable bond between us all. And whether you choose to extend your stay here at Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta or return home today, we wish you only goodness until we meet again.
