[The most valuable thing I learned this weekend was] that I can do it. That there are resources and people to help me in my entrepreneurial journey. The most helpful were really just the more psychological – mental state teachings about being creative and the struggles that come with it.

    

It’s hard to say what the MOST valuable thing I learned is when everything was so valuable. I learned a lot about wholesale and E-Commerce sites – but I think the most valuable piece is the connection and networking with other like-minded makers.

    

The timeframe felt almost perfect to me – long enough to learn a LOT, but not so long that I was overwhelmed and exhausted (I did a five-day art retreat once and that was too much). And it felt very appropriate to do this in the Spring, and leave with a fresh sense of beginning and potential. Plus, Vashon is just stunning right now!

[The most valuable thing I learned ] was that I share the same fears, anxieties and struggles as everyone else. Being around others who are in the same boat gave me a boost of confidence and the drive to keep going. I feel really motivated to get into my studio today, after months of going through a period of struggling with why I’m doing this. Feels like I have my focus back.

    

As an instructor and first-time Camp Thundercraft attendee, I immediately felt warmly welcomed by the whole community. It was inspiring to be surrounded by a vibrant group of creative entrepreneurs. I learned as much from the experience as I taught — probably more! I hope to be fortunate enough to attend again next year!

    

I knew nothing coming into this weekend and only signed up last minute. I was a little scared to show up by myself. It was a truly remarkable weekend! Every single class was so beyond what i was expecting. The round table with Chelsea Snow and then her class were both out of this world. Everyone that i met was such a gem of a human. So much talent! And empathy and kindness. Wow. Just wow!

    

What a wonderful group of people you’ve pulled together and a kind vibe you’ve created. It was so fun being around so many other curious and passionate individuals who were on a similar wavelength. Also, the food was so perfect. Thanks!

    

Camp was more than I expected in all the good ways! Had so much fun!! Felt at home connecting with fellow creatives and being about to not only learn together but also build relationships with everyone!

    

It is hard to put into words. I feel reenergized and unstuck. Big perspective shifts happened because of having this space and time. I keep telling myself this year is about evolution not growth. And to stop feeling guild around that

    

I got SO much out of this weekend – information, friends, time spent in surroundings that helped me recenter, delicious food, hope and insight. I’m extremely thankful for the opportunity.
