“Summercamp is 3 days off-grid, surrounded by 150 open-minded entrepreneurs from all walks of life. I don’t really go for the “business” stuff (though the workshops are a bonus and entrepreneurs just get it). I go because it restores my humanity.

I’ve always told myself I’m not a people’s person. I shrink in large groups. Spend too much time in my head. At least, I thought that was true. But it turns out it’s only true when I’m with the wrong people. Because when you’re sat around a fire under the stars, laughing hard with people you’ve only just met... or jumping into a freezing lake... or sharing stories that cut straight through the small talk... people-ing suddenly isn’t so bad”

“The older I get, the harder I am to impress. I’ve been to a lot of entrepreneur events and heard about plenty more but few have impressed me as much as the Happy Start Up Summercamp. I give it an unreserved 10/10. I was so deeply impressed with the quality of the event, the simplicity and depth of it. I met some of the finest people and had the best time.”

“Summercamp makes you feel like you can do the thing you’ve always dreamed of. The thing that deep down you know you need to do. You just haven’t admitted it yet. And it makes you think about how you want your life to be. ”

“I’ve got clarity about where I’m going and why, some great tools, some beautiful new connections and a healed heart. ”

“I sensed, I felt, I learned, I saw, I heard, I met, I hugged, I danced. And I still feel like there’s no words to tell you about it. What I can say is I have not been at a festival that had this level of care, inspiration and beauty. ”

“Summercamp is a crucible for change, attended each year by an amazing bunch of 150 souls who are eager and open to getting things done - and done in better and more loving ways. It’s an anchor. It’s a community. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. A fresh start every year.”

“I love these people and these fields and the talks and workshops and swimming - it helps me fall back in love with the world”
