SHiFT / CAMPS Unplug and Plug in.

Connect with industry. Disconnect from routine. Focus your vision.

SHiFT camps are collaborative adventures with hyper-local themes and activities that converge workshops, field trips, discussions, and reflection into your heart, body, and mind. You will rejuvenate your explorative mindset, amplify your creative problem solving skills, and infuse passion back into your life.

A fun way for creative minds who want to change the world to connect with peers and industry leaders. We have years of experience in designing highly engaging events that trigger growth in seeing, thinking, and doing. Every camp is a unique mixture of students, young professionals, disciplines, and thought leaders from around the world. You will need to embrace the chaos and ambiguity that is part of this fantastic experience.

Come join the campfire conversations.

A SHiFT Camp is what you make it. But for everyone, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to dive deep into creativity, conversations, and community.
