The Ultimate Nail Tech Sleepover

Pack Your PJs and Your Passion for Nails

September 23-27, 2027

Grab your favorite pajamas, pack your nail supplies, and get ready for the most fun educational retreat in the nail industry!

Nail Camp isn’t a trade show. It’s not a crowded convention center. It’s a four-day immersive experience where nail professionals come together to learn, grow, create, connect, and recharge.

Whether you’re looking to master new techniques, strengthen your business, discover new products, or build lifelong friendships, Nail Camp is designed to help you take the next step in your career while having an unforgettable time along the way.


What Makes Nail Camp Different?

For four days, you don’t have to worry about hotel costs, transportation between venues, meal expenses, or rushing from one location to another.

Everything is together in one place.

You’ll enjoy:

• 4 days and 3 nights of classes and activities
• 10 meals included
• Business and technical education
• Hands-on workshops and demonstrations
• Competitions and challenges
• Product sampling and sponsor experiences
• Swag bags and giveaways
• Evening activities and social events
• Meaningful connections with fellow nail professionals

Created by nail techs, for nail techs, Nail Camp is designed to deliver incredible value while providing a supportive and welcoming community unlike anything else in the industry.


The Slumber Party Experience

This year’s theme is all about fun, friendship, self-care, and celebrating the amazing community we’ve built together.

Expect pajama-themed activities, late-night laughs, themed challenges, creative photo opportunities, and plenty of surprises throughout the weekend.

Whether you’re attending with friends or arriving solo, you’ll leave with new connections, new skills, and memories you’ll talk about for years.


Education That Inspires

Every year, Nail Camp brings together talented educators from across the industry to share their expertise, creativity, and passion.

While our 2027 educator lineup is still being finalized, attendees can expect a wide variety of classes focused on:

• Nail art and design
• Gel systems
• Acrylic techniques
• E-file skills
• Salon success and business growth
• Social media and marketing
• Photography and content creation
• Client retention and customer service
• Pedicuring & Specialized Services
• Personal and professional development

Our class lineup changes every year, ensuring fresh content and new opportunities for returning campers.


More Than Nails

One of the highlights of every Nail Camp experience is our annual keynote presentation.

This special session is dedicated to helping you grow both personally and professionally through topics such as confidence, mindset, resilience, leadership, business success, and personal growth.

Because success starts with believing in yourself.


Pack your favorite pajamas, slippers, and cozy blanket! Rest-A-While Lodge will be the heart of all the fun, laughter, learning, and late-night conversations that make Nail Camp so special.

Unlike a traditional hotel where everyone is spread throughout the property, Rest-A-While Lodge allows campers to stay together, making it easy to connect with fellow nail professionals, continue conversations after classes, and fully immerse yourself in the Nail Camp experience.

The lodge features comfortable guest rooms, welcoming common areas, and plenty of space to relax, recharge, and build friendships throughout the weekend. Whether you’re chatting with a new friend over morning coffee, sharing ideas after an evening activity, or winding down after a full day of classes, the lodge becomes part of the Nail Camp experience itself.

One of the things attendees love most about Nail Camp is the sense of community, and staying together under one roof helps create the friendships and memories that keep campers coming back year after year.

Please note that room assignments and occupancy details will be provided closer to the event date.
