Are “adult summer camps” really for grown-ups— or something totally different? That’s exactly what Sophie Cunningham wondered when she came across this latest lifestyle trend. During a recent episode of her podcast Show Me Something, she shared her first gut reaction.

“When I first read that, I thought of like swingers. Like my mind went to like, this is a camp for like adults to make friends? What? But if you’re thinking about actually you’re going to a camp to go do those things? Absolutely. I think no one really loses the kid in them. But when I read this, I was thinking some weird sh*t is going down.”

Cunningham’s words landed with comedic accuracy. She and co-host West Wilson had been discussing how retreats featuring tug-of-war, jet-skiing, and flag football are becoming popular—a throwback to childhood summers, minus the mini-mall and bunk drama. While Wilson praised the fun side, Cunningham admitted her brain leapt to something else entirely.

The clip now has fans buzzing. Comments range from “Only Sophie would go there first” to people admitting they had the same bizarre first thought. It’s not just timing—Cunningham’s humor helped bring levity while the season goes on without her due to injury.

Injured players on the bench don’t always get airtime. But with moments like this, Sophie Cunningham reminds us that being sidelined doesn’t mean being silent. She’s still entertaining—just from closer camera angles.

Sophie Cunningham Defends Bria Hartley After Commenters Jumped to Conclusions

Sophie Cunningham isn’t holding back—but she is defending her teammates. After her own knee injury during a game involving former teammate Bria Hartley, Cunningham went on her podcast to set the record straight.

“I know Bria, and I’m actually really good friends with Bria,” she said. “And I have been waiting to get on the pod so we can talk about this and I didn’t want to tweet it out. I don’t think that there was no ill intent. … I have nothing but love for Bria.” 

Her tone was firm and respectful—emphasizing that despite the unfortunate injury, Hartley had no intention of causing harm. Cunningham and Hartley shared a locker room in Phoenix before playing different teams, but the bond runs deeper than headlines suggested.

In a season filled with injuries and finger-pointing, her response grounded the conversation. Fans appreciated the nuance—acknowledging the tough moment, while recognizing shared respect and sportsmanship at its core. For Caitlin Clark and the Fever, those values matter both on and off the court.
