The magic of CAMP

This post will be an ode to the great little adventure called The Unique CAMP. I can't really describe it enough to do it justice, but I'm going to do my best.

The first CAMP I went to in 2015, I was pretty new to LA and really new to being an adult. I technically had been one for years but going to work on a cruise ship after college helped delay it a bit. I decided to go to this creative conference in the mountains and find out who I was supposed to be and what in the world I should do.

The cliff notes version of that first experience was I came as a blank slate and left with actual professional contacts, and friends, and inspiration. I've gone back to every CAMP since.

This past CAMP Spring of 2017 was the last. I had the honor of being a CAMP counselor, which at an adult camp/business conference just means you get to lead a group of beyond talented people around the activities and steal (collect safely) all of their cell phones for the digital detox.

Once everyone is officially off the grid, we go around the camp and do an epic scavenger hunt. It's crazy how disconnecting from the safety blankets of our cell phones and acting like a kid can change your entire experience so quickly. At the end of the first-day team activities, each cabin performs a cheer. Our cabin, Spruce, rewrote the lyrics to "No Diggity" which also included baton twirling, which I was fully obsessed with.
