I got way more than I expected out of camp. I am still glowing even weeks later! There was so much to process, and I’ve made so many awesome connections, and done so much work to my business since the second I got home. It was a truly incredible experience. Thank you so much!

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 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!

Loved this weekend! So rich, so beneficial. Loved the camp. Loved the thunder! 🌩⛈🌦Best value EVER in my 19 years in business. So, Thank You for creating the totally affordable, super dynamic, creative business conference weekend EVER. And thank you for the courageous session on “political/personal”. I met amazing women doing amazing things at each moment. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[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.

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!

The camp was more amazing than I even expected, so thoughtfully and well organized, such interesting and pertinent classes, good timing and good variety, lots of ways to connect with other makers, and lots of fun as well! I got so much out of it, and loved every minute! The one thing I did wish was that the slides from all the talks were more informative. Some of them give so much information; others seemed to just be reminders to the speaker about what they wanted to say, and those are much less useful if you weren’t able to attend the class.

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.

I was skeptical that I could enjoy and benefit as much in year two as I did in year one, but holy crap! I had such an amazing time seeing other repeat campers, meeting new ones, immersing myself in a pool of like-minded people with shared experiences. I’m incredibly grateful. Also, kudos to Lydia for how she built the confidence of everyone she photographed and for sharing her knowledge so freely.

It’s invaluable to learn so many do’s and don’ts from teachers & other makers, both in an out of the classrooms at Camp Thundercraft. The “yes we can” vibe is inspiring and rejuvenating which is precisely what a solopreneur needs at the start of a new year! Thank you so much for using your limited time and energy to connect makers and help us be more successful through sharing ideas, resources, motivation, and support!
