Overview:
Camp Grounded is is pure, unadulterated camp for grown-ups. This is Summer Camp. This is not a conference, networking event or summit. This is not be a meet-up opportunity to make contacts that further your career. There is no cocktail hour or reception for anyone to explain what they do, play the “we know the same people” game, or try and figure out how they can launch a company together. No VIPs, headliners, thought-leaders, glampers, keynotes or wristbands. No backstage access, or any backstages (while we’re at it). Everyone is equal.
Instead, Camp Grounded creates an atmosphere to celebrate personal freedom, creative thinking, liberation from technology, true vacation from our j-o-b, and a space from the working world where we can all once again be human. Friendships at camp are based on real-life connections, how good you are at Capture the Flag or face-painting, the best late night bunkmate jokes, and the present moment.
Every Camp Grounded experience includes Healthy Gourmet Camp Meals, Live Music, 30+ Playshops, Campfires, Yoga, Counselors, Arts ‘n Crafts, Camp Dance, Talent Show, Sing-A-Longs, Rockwall Climbing, Archery, Swimming, Meditation, Typewriters, Capture the Flag, Classic Cabins, Color Wars, Kickball, Stargazing, Sweat Lodges, Program Specialists, Wellness Tipis, S’mores & More…

Spud’s Thoughts:
If you are looking to totally disconnect yourself from your work and the stress of figuring out your career or solving the world’s next big issue – take some time to ground yourself at camp. I haven’t ever participated in a Camp Grounded experience myself, but I’ve done other similar camps and they are always an incredibly refreshing moment to reconnect with myself, in a playful and free way.
