Why Camp Indie is the Most Fun and Most Affordable Conference You’ll Attend:
Unparalleled setting
No drab, stale hotel conference rooms. You’ll be waking up and learning in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains with fresh air in your lungs and nature at your doorstep. Location: Club Getaway in Kent, CT
Experiential learning
You won’t be learning by sitting on your butt, taking notes. Instead, you’ll learn by doing – everything from podcasting to paddleboarding.
Organic connections
No speed dating or hokey networking. Instead, you’ll make real, deep connections with fellow campers while kayaking, around a campfire, or at small group workshops.
Small group
We’ve capped Camp Indie at under 250 people so you’ll be able to interact and meet everyone, including speakers, in an intimate and fun setting.
All-inclusive price
At Camp Indie, accommodations, food, workshops, and activities are ALL included…and at a fraction of the cost of other conferences.
Everything is included.
Most conferences charge high ticket prices plus make you pay for your hotel, food and entertainment, all of which you have to figure out on your own (huge hassle).
At Camp Indie your accommodations, food, workshops, and entertainment are all included.
All you need to do is show up, relax, and have a blast enjoying an unforgettable weekend of growth, learning, and connection.
Warning: A weekend of learning coupled with boatloads of fun may lead to altered states of consciousness, personal breakthroughs and new life-long friends. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you!)

What do our previous attendees love about Camp Indie?
- Heidi Nicklaus -
If you want to be uplifted and inspired, if you want to connect with others (even if you're an introvert), or even just want to go away for a weekend and have fun - this camp is for you! Dive in and sign up and just trust you will have no regrets (when was the last time you did that?). I didn't fully know what the experience would be like, but I immediately signed up for the following year and highly encouraged multiple people to come with me!
- Erica Hackman -
Camp Indie was the best. I don't think I've felt that connected to and surrounded by "my people" in a long, long time. There's nothing quite like getting to meet a person who you think is incredible and then getting to see them over and over again as sessions, workshops, and meals for the days following. Getting that much time with new friends that share the similar lives and goals as you is pretty rare these days. Camp Indie fostered a lot of new friendships and I'm sure some new business and work relationships. And how nice that it was all done very close to a campfire & pristine lake.
- John McKenzie -
Camp Indie has been integral in increasing my confidence, pushing my comfort zone, and showing me that what I want is attainable. The personal connections are priceless. Camp has been a springboard for me to move toward my next goals and gather a support network. And it's a LOT of fun in a setting where I don't feel I need to explain or prove myself.
- Jeff Harrell -
If you are looking to hang out with a group of individuals who are really focused on living a life of purpose, this event is for you. Everyone at camp has a different "why" and it is so refreshing to talk about it in community. To say this event was inspirational only scratches the surface of the emotional response this event creates.
- Julie Fogerson -
It was a fantastic balance of useful information, great people, and fun activities - an all around meaningful experience I'm looking forward to doing again in 2024.

June 20-23, 2025 – Kent, CT
Seriously, you’re still thinking about this?
Here are some FAQ’s that will help:
What does my ticket include?
Your ticket includes everything other than your transportation to and from camp. Once you hit the campground, it’s all inclusive, baby. You won’t have to reach for that wallet, the swipe that card, or bitcoin that bitcoin.
Your ticket includes three nights accommodations in rustic-chic cabins, 8 meals (Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast/lunch/dinner, Sunday breakfast/lunch/dinner, and Monday breakfast), a snazzy swag bag, all activities—yep, even the crazy ones like wake boarding, ropes course, and water skiing–all workshops/breakout sessions, and speakers.
The unlimited alcohol package and cabin upgrades (from standard 4-person cabins to 2-person or solo) are optional add-ons.
We worked hard to eliminate any hidden costs.
So…bring yourself and be ready for a good time.
What are the accommodations like?
The rustic chic 4-person cabins are air-conditioned, feature snuggly 10-inch memory foam mattresses, have private bathrooms, and daily housekeeping! All rooms have a view so you can enjoy the gorgeous lakeside vistas and verdant mountains. We have a limited number of 2-person and solo cabins available as upgrades if you so desire.
What if I want a private cabin with my mastermind, honey, or best buddy?
You can submit your roommate requests at checkout, or contact us any time with your request! Otherwise, we will group campers by gender.
Standard tickets include 4-person cabins, but you can upgrade to a 2- or 1-person cabin if you want more privacy.
What food options are available?
We’ve got all your dietary needs covered! When you register, you can select from various dietary options including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free. If you have any other food allergies or requirements, please indicate them on your registration form. See the camp’s food allergy statement here.
How do I get to Camp Indie?
Camp Indie is located in Kent, CT, about a 90-minute drive from New York City, 90 minutes from Hartford, CT, or about 3 hours from Boston.
We’ll provide GPS directions for driving via email after you sign up. We encourage carpooling whenever possible!
What if I don’t want to attend workshops/wake board/meditate?
Every single activity on the schedule is optional so you can create the camp experience that you want. Want to spend some time reading or journaling alone? Totally fine. While we highly recommend some activities (like keynote speakers, meals, and the dance party), nothing is mandatory.
But…we’re willing to bet the hardest thing about camp will be trying to fit in everything you want to do.
Are the tickets refundable? What happens if I buy a ticket and can’t go?
Since we have financial commitments to the venue that we can’t avoid, tickets are non-refundable. However, you are absolutely welcome to sell and transfer your ticket to another person who wants to attend, any time before June 1, 2025. Just contact us and we’ll help you sort it out! A $100 transfer fee applies.
Will it really be as fun as it sounds?
It’ll be even funner. More fun.
When is this happening?
Camp Indie will begin the evening of June 20 and continue until late morning on June 23, 2025. Plan to arrive at 5:30 p.m. or later on Friday and depart by 10 a.m. on Monday.
What should I pack?
Here’s our Camp Indie Packing List:
- Toiletries (shampoo/conditioner, soaps, toothbrush/paste)
- Beach towel
- Sunscreen
- Mosquito repellent
- Closed-toe shoes
- Bathing suit
- A few changes of clothes
- Jacket
- Any medications you might need
We’ll also email you a more detailed list before your arrival.
Can my kid come?
We love our kids…but we also love to get a little break from them. This camp is only for people 21 and up so everyone can relax, decompress, connect, and enjoy the company of other adults….and a beer, if you wish.
Plus, we don’t want them eating all the s’mores!
Is Camp Indie right for me?
Do you value freedom? Travel? Living your life based on your soul’s desires rather than what society thinks you should do? Then you’re in the right place! At Camp Indie you’ll be surrounded by other creative, positive and inspiring individuals who are bucking the status quo and choosing to embrace an unconventional life. This includes anyone from people currently living, or pursuing, the location independent lifestyle, artists, online creators, 9-5ers looking to escape the cubicle, digital nomads, travelers, or anyone else who is seeking to live life to the fullest, make new friends and go to the next level in whatever it is you want to do next.
Do I need to bring my own sheets and towel?
Nope, all linens and towels are provided in the cabins. We do recommend bringing a separate towel to use at the lake if you plan to swim.
Can I bring my dog/cat/guinea pig?
Is there wifi?
Yes.
I am an introvert. Will this be tough for me?
I'm older/younger... will there be anyone else in my age range?
We have people signed up in all ranges, 21 and up, including several in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Everyone is welcome and you won’t be alone!
How much does it cost?
Regular-priced tickets are only $1699. This includes everything: ALL camp activities and workshops for 4 days, meals, and 3 nights lodging. It’s a no-brainer!
What happens after I sign up?
You’ll be placed on a mailing list where you’ll receive more important details about Camp Indie. We’ll send important information as it develops, so be sure to stay subscribed to emails from Location Indie so you don’t miss anything important!
What is NOT included?
Flights and ground transportation to the camp, any personal purchases (souvenirs, etc), or the Cheers Package (available as add-on for unlimited alcohol for the weekend).
Note: If you don’t want to buy the Cheers Package but wish to buy a few drinks, you will be able to purchase them individually for $7-$10 per drink.
What happens in the event of a medical emergency?
Should it be deemed necessary for the attendee’s health, Club Getaway/Lifestyle Launch will make every effort to reach out to reach the attendee’s emergency contact. Club Getaway/Lifestyle Launch reserves the right to have attendees hospitalized or to use outside medical, surgical, or dental aid. Expenses will be the responsibility of attendee(s).
I STILL have questions. Where can I get answers?
[email protected]. We’re here for you.
Who is behind this amazingly awesome, super stupendous, freaking fantastic idea of Camp Indie?
That’d be this gang of troublemakers. You can also learn more about us through our various projects: Location Indie Community, and Extra Pack of Peanuts (Trav).
Here’s What’s Included:
- Rustic chic cabin accommodations for 3 nights, with all linens and daily housekeeping
- All 8 meals
- All on-site activities
- All entertainment and parties
- All business workshops and keynote speakers
We’re so glad you found your way to our funky little corner of the internet, welcome!
You might be wondering “Who is behind all this, and how did it start?”
Well…
My buddy Jason Moore and I met at a conference back in 2013, both travel podcasters from Philadelphia working hard to build a sustainable lifestyle that would allow us to do meaningful work, travel more, and own our time.
Failure may have not been an option in our hearts, but the reality was that that figuring out how to actually build a life around the things you love wasn’t (and isn’t) easy.
In fact, we realized that it was damn near impossible to do on your own.
We needed the support we got from each other and our other like-minded, status quo-bucking friends, in order to live our best lives.
Real support, mentorship, and friendship won’t fall out of the sky and into your lap.
It has to come through community and time spent with others who are also open and willing to connect.
So in 2015, we holed up in Ocean City, NJ for 3 days during the dead of winter with one mission: to create a thriving community of like-minded souls who value freedom, exploration, and unconventional living.
That’s when our community Location Indie was born!
Being surrounded by others who understand the challenges that can come with pursuing an unconventional path has changed not only our lives, but the lives of many of our community members.
By far, the most fun part of it all has been meeting incredible people from all over the world in person.
After bearing witness to countless magical moments at meetups around the world, we created Camp Indie with the help of our friend Vanessa Tharp, Year One Camp Director, and our first Camp Indie in 2021 was a roaring success!
Camp Indie 2023 was even more amazing than the first one, and a huge number of campers descended into CT Camp Indie 2024, so we’re bringing it back better than ever in 2025!
It’s easy to meet kindred spirits when you are naturally bonding through fun camp activities, life-changing workshops and, of course, hot s’mores fresh outta the campfire!
This event is open to anyone who is ready to have a blast, grow in unexpected ways, learn from others and make real, authentic connections.
Our theme is The Triangle of Freedom: How To Achieve Time, Location and Financial Freedom In A New World.
So come one, come all and get ready to feel the supportive vibes of your new tribe!
I can’t wait to meet YOU, and for you to meet each other, and hope you’ll join us for an action-packed weekend of pure FUN at Camp Indie 2024!
Cheers,
Trav
Co-Founder of locationindie.com
