Come and meet people
Networking groups people keep coming back to forever
Camp is home base for online networking groups. Meet every week in the Lodge, talk for real in small Cabins, and follow up without the busywork, so strangers become the people you call first.
Free to join. Free to start a Camp. No card needed.
The problem
Networking shouldn't feel like starting over every week
You're building something, and you can't do it alone. But most networking leaves you with a pocket full of cards and no one to call.
One-night events
LinkedIn events and Eventbrite links get you in a room once. Then everyone scatters, and you start over.
Rooms too big to talk in
Forty quick intros and not one real conversation. You leave knowing names, not people.
Follow-ups that never happen
The cards pile up, the coffee never gets booked, and good connections go cold.
Good relationships need a place to come back to. That's what Camp is.
A rhythm that works
Every meeting runs the same way: a Wake-up Call, Circle Up intros, small Cabins, and a Spotlight. First-timers know what to expect.
Follow-up built in
Trade Cards to save people, 1-on-1 Firesides, video Postcards, and Compass to find your people for you.
Ranks that reward showing up
Camps climb from Spark to Beacon on real activity. Sign-ups who never come don't count.

Where this goes
Picture your network a few months from now
With Camp
A room full of people who know your name
- The same good people, every week
- Referrals and intros that come to you
- Partners, clients, and friends you met in a Cabin
- Follow-ups that happen without the busywork
Without a home base
Starting over, again
- Another event, another stack of cards
- Follow-ups you meant to send but didn't
- Scrolling profile after profile for the right person
- Starting over with strangers every month
The short version
Networking that doesn't end at the door
You're building a business, a practice, or a big idea, and the right people make all the difference. But one-night events and endless profile scrolling leave you meeting strangers over and over. Camp gives your networking group a home base: a weekly Lodge meeting, small Cabins for real conversations, and follow-ups that happen on their own with Firesides and Compass. Sign up free, start your Camp, and soon the people you meet will be the people you call first.
Questions
Good to know
What is a Camp?
A Camp is a networking group with a home base. It has a Director, a regular meeting time, a Lodge for meetings, and a Bulletin Board for members.
Who is Camp for?
Business owners, startups, speakers, creatives, and friends who want to meet the same good people more than once. It's mostly business, and it's meant to be fun.
What happens at a meeting?
You meet in the Lodge, Circle Up for quick intros, then the host breaks everyone into Cabins. You can pitch a Tent for a side chat and Trade Cards with anyone you click with.
Can I start my own Camp?
Yes. Anyone can start a Camp and become its Director. You can make it public, or private so you approve who joins.
What are Wake-up Calls?
Public alerts from a Director that a meeting is starting or coming up, so your campers know when to show up.
Is Camp only online?
Camp meets online today. In-person Camps are next, so the people you meet online can meet around a real campfire.
What's a Fireside?
A 1-on-1 meeting between two campers, outside any Camp. Offer a few times you're both free, and they pick one. Firesides are free for everyone.
How much does Camp cost?
Camp is free for every camper and every Camp Director. Camper Plus, Camper Pro, and the Director plan add extras like video Postcards, Compass (a connect agent that books Firesides for you), and Camp Insights. You can try any of them free.
Can I see Camp before I sign up?
Yes. Watch the one-minute tour on the How it works page, or browse the Camps meeting this season. When you're ready, signing up is free.
Ready to give your people a home base?
Sign up free and join a Camp this week, or start the one you wish existed.
