The Culture
The best thing about working at campendium is:
Helping others discover camping!
When we’re not working, we’re:
Hiking or socializing around the campfire.
What we’re reading:
The Book of Joy - Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Douglas Carlton Abrams
Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space by Carl Sagan
What we’re listening to:
Podcasts: The Daily & Post Reports
If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:
The Neverending Road Trip
Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:
Everyone has the right to be outside and should feel comfortable outside.
Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:
According to the 2019 North American Camping Report , since 2012, the percentage of non-white camping households increased from 12 percent to 29 percent. According to the 2019 Census, 42% of the population in the US is non-white. Five years down the line, we would like to see demographics in camping visibly reflect that of the country.
