Grab your favorite camp mug, pull up a chair, and join us around the virtual campfire!

About This First Chat

We’re thrilled to kick off a new chapter of connection and community through EPIC. This first Campfire Chat will be a relaxed and inclusive space to reflect on the highlights and lessons from the summer, get to know one another, and share ideas for future gatherings. Together, we’ll build a supportive network for new and emerging leaders in camping — a community centered on your story, your growth, and your place in the camp world.

What Is EPIC?

EPIC is a community that empowers the next generation of camp leaders through education, networking, and shared experiences. It’s designed for anyone looking to grow in the camp industry, whether you’re stepping into leadership, moving from seasonal to year-round work, or just starting your camp journey. There are no membership requirements; if the conversations inspire you, you belong here.
