Spend a week on your creative projects in a beautiful location surrounded by like-minded people

What is Creative Camp?

Creative Camp is for everyone with the ambition to create, learn and grow. If you are feeling stuck in your creation, uninspired or feel like you lack support and community. We rent a villa in a beautiful location and bring creators together. Everyone with the ambition to create is welcome, regardless of creative area. Bring a creative project to work on during the week and enjoy a good time with nice people while progressing on your project. We structure the week for everyone to set their own goals and for a bit of motivation from social accountability. Our cook will make home-cooked meals and we'll go on fun excursions in the surrounding area.

Creative Projects

Work on whatever creative project you feel like, alone or in collaboration with others. Here are a few examples of what campers have worked on.

And many more...

Schedule and Activities

Most of the time is spent working independently as you wish on your own projects. The week is structured with a planning and sharing session at the beginning where we do a creative self evaluation and set goals for ourselves. Two excursions will be planned during the week but most of the knowledge sharing will be done by everyone attending based on what knowledge, ideas and skills we have.

  • Planned Sessions I will be running sessions at the beginning of the week for your creative vision tied to goal setting, daily short updates and end-of-week session.

  • Skill Sharing These are sessions run on a voluntary basis by campers within an area they have knowledge. Examples from previous camps include macramé workshop, art class, yoga, meditation, video for social media, and many more.

  • Food Food will be cooked for everyone two times a day, a proper dinner and a simple lunch. Breakfast is also included but is self-serve.

  • Excursions Depending on interest and weather we will go out on excursions, examples include wine tasting, surfing, sightseeing or hiking.

  • Independent creation The rest of the time is spent working on your creative project and maybe take a break every once in a while to hang out by the pool.

This is an example of the schedule for a previous creative camp. The exact schedule will depend on what sharing sessions campers want to run and which excursions the group find the most interesting.

Beliefs

  • There is Power in Creation - Creating something uniquely yours is powerful. It’s fulfilling and a great way to express emotion, ideas or just enjoy life. Put something new into the world that would not have existed if not for you.

  • Creation is for Everyone - Everyone who is good at something started out sucking. So let’s get started!

  • Community - It’s helpful to be surrounded by other creative people for motivation, feedback and good times. Social accountability is not to be underestimated.

  • Finish Something - Getting something completed and out into the world is more important than endless planning and hypothesising. Nothing will ever be perfect, so at som point we have to accept "good enough".

  • Expand Viewpoint - Creation is done best with a mix of focused work, letting the mind wander and incorporating other’s opinions and ideas.

Waitlist for future camps

Previous Camps

The first camp was held in September 2022 just outside of Lisbon and the second one in the French Alps and then a third one in Portugal again. Lots of creation, inspiration and knowledge sharing. Check out Instagram for more photos and videos.

Other Camps

I also run Entrepreneur Camp the week before Creative Camp, Which is a similar concept but with a focus on developing your business or trying out a new business idea. entrepreneurcamp.carrd.co

Join WhatsApp Community

The WhatsApp community is where you can keep meet with others who enjoy creation. It's a way to more continuously get motivated and inspired by seeing what other campers are working on and share what you are up to. We run remote creative weeks and a group of constant show-and-tell.

Background

I’m Markus, the founder of Creative Camp. I’m a Swede with a passion for different creative pursuits, like art, music, design and software. I run an Investing app, do data science consulting and am currently building a software tool to speed up the creation of high fidelity illustrations using AI. I took an art class 10 years ago with an amazing community; where people improved rapidly and had a great time learning and creating. I have missed that community feeling for creation ever since. The idea for Creative Camp came after a surf camp where the people were amazing but I felt something was missing since I didn’t create anything or progress in areas I cared about. So I started Creative Camp!
