Learn something new. Teach what you love. Find your people.
Somewhere in adulthood, it gets weirdly easy to stop learning things just for the hell of it. It gets harder to make new friends. And too many of our conversations start to orbit work, family logistics, politics, or whatever terrible thing is happening on the internet.
Camp Curious is a small rebellion against that. Part summer camp, part salon, part social experiment — Camp Curious is a weekend gathering where everyone’s a participant and no one is a spectator.
Borrowing from the unconference / BarCamp model, Camp Curious invites you to host or attend sessions that explore everything from the deeply practical to the delightfully strange.
We’re creating space for conversations, workshops, walks, rants, and rituals — crowdsourced from the minds and hearts of the people who show up.
You don’t need to be a “thought leader.” You just need to be a thought-haver.
▪ Writers, coders, teachers, tinkerers, dreamers
▪ Birdwatchers, crypto-skeptics, career-hoppers
▪ Minnebar regulars, conference misfits, podcast junkies
If you're curious, you're qualified!
