What is Vibecamp?

Founded in 2021, Vibecamp is a yearly gathering that is sort of notoriously difficult to describe. Part festival, part unconference, part 'summer camp for nerdy adults', the main event is four days at a former children's summer camp every June in Maryland.

NOTE: this website is under active construction!! check back in a few days for more : )

Shadows of vibecamp I'm still carrying with me: I miss the people — walking mysteries with an openness and vulnerability that is hard to find elsewhere. I miss the quiet nature — the presence of people complimented rather than interrupted it. I miss the oddness — back to a world where people try to be predictable and invisible instead of showing their beautiful and interesting uniqueness.

yeah one time i went to this festival thing on a whim and now I'm living in an attendee's house taking other attendees camping this weekend hiring other attendees for work and dating another attendee, my advice: stay away

What happens at Vibecamp?

Vibecamp has no keynote speakers, and no hired acts. We feed you and provide scheduling infrastructure, and you bring the rest. As it gets closer to camp, the events list will fill up, with some being added impromptu during the gathering itself. The final result is something of a choose-(and create!)-your-own-adventure long weekend, with some attendees on the somatic awareness/spirituality track, some choosing the more heady talks and workshops, some sticking with the party vibe or just hanging with friends new and old, and many choosing a mix of the above.

at vibecamp, you might encounter someone explaining the fourier transform on a flip chart, consensual waterboarding, a pool party and see a guy interviewing people with his portable podcast setup — all in the span of like 60 seconds. you couldn't make this shit up

to no one's surprise, vibecamp was an outlier-excellent time & a major inflection point on my journey along multiple dimensions, the names of which I'm still determining. i spent way too long denying I wanted to go & am grateful to those of you who lambasted me into it
