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!

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

As a first time camper, I got so much out of my weekend at Camp Thundercraft! I found some much needed guidance, a new tribe of amazing artists and friends, and a little sign from the universe that I am on the right path. I can’t wait for next year!

I went into camp not really thinking my business was even a business. The most valuable thing I learned at camp was that my business can be as big as I make it, as extensive as I want. It all depends on how much I am willing to put into it. I think I learned that by simply having the time to talk to and listen to other business owners like me. It was nice to know that we are more alike than different. I also learned that there are are so many lovely people/artists in the community who can share their experience and knowledge.

I got so much out of Camp, but the class on raising your prices really hit home for me. It was super empowering and gave me a fresh perspective that I’ve already started thinking about applying to my own business. It definitely stuck with me the most!

The best things about camp, for me, as someone just starting out are as follows: First, just believing I deserved to give this dream a serious go was important. Going to camp was literally and symbolically about investing in myself. Second, talking with people and hearing their stories and being asked to describe and explain my business helped me to clarify what I really want to do. Third-being around people who actually wanted to listen and who generously gave me such thoughtful and creative ideas, who are also going through similar things was extremely validating! Last, but not least, I made connections with people face to face and exchanged contact information thus expanding my support network!

[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.

Loved this weekend! So rich, so beneficial. Loved the camp. Loved the thunder! 🌩⛈🌦Best value EVER in my 19 years in business.
