Nail Camp 2027
The Ultimate Nail Tech Sleepover
September 24-27, 2027
Cedar Lake Ministries • Indiana • 1 Hour South of Chicago
Nail Camp is designed to be one of the most affordable and value-packed educational experiences available to nail professionals. Your registration includes lodging, meals, education, activities, and entertainment—all in one convenient location.
Rest-A-While Lodge

For Nail Camp 2027, attendees will be staying together in the historic Rest-A-While Lodge, a warm and welcoming home-away-from-home that has been hosting guests since 1936.
As you enter the lodge, you’ll be greeted by a cozy fireplace and spacious lounge area—the perfect place to relax between classes, catch up with friends, share ideas, or simply enjoy the company of fellow nail professionals. One of the things that makes Nail Camp so special is the sense of community, and staying together under one roof helps create the friendships and connections that keep campers coming back year after year.
The lodge features comfortable guest rooms with private bathrooms and a combination of bunk, double, and queen beds. Room assignments will be coordinated by Nail Camp based on registration preferences and availability.
One of the highlights of the lodge will be the Boldt Room, which will be transformed into our 24-Hour Nail Camp Playroom. This dedicated creative space will remain available throughout the weekend for campers who want to:
✨ Finish mixed media projects
✨ Prepare nails for competitions and classes
✨ Practice newly learned techniques
✨ Collaborate with fellow attendees
✨ Create, relax, and socialize after hours
With direct access to an outdoor porch, plus a refrigerator, sink, and restroom, the Playroom is the perfect place to gather with friends, work on projects, and keep the creativity flowing long after the day’s classes have ended.
Some of the best Nail Camp memories happen outside the classroom. Whether you’re chatting by the fireplace, perfecting a competition entry, or laughing with friends late into the evening, Rest-A-While Lodge will be at the heart of the Nail Camp experience.

What is your refund policy?
Full Refunds available until July 31, 2027. (This does not apply to the early-bird deposit which is non-refundable.)
Can I stay at a hotel?
You are welcome to stay in a hotel, but this will not change the price of camp and you will still have a bed assigned to you if you decide to use it.
Do I need to bring a printed ticket?
You do not need to bring a printed ticket at check in. When you arrive we will have a list of everyone who is fully registered.
Are there any additional fees?
