The Sounds of Offline Camp [Podcast!]
The poolside podcast
We were thrilled to have Jenn Turner with us at Offline Camp to interview many of our campers about what Offline First means to them. Our friends at The New Builders Podcast loaned us their microphone for this endeavor and have since cut together a whole episode worth of clips from Jenn’s interviews. (Thank you, Jim & Doug!) Listen to the podcast below, then read on to learn more about the campers interviewed!

If hearing these awesome campers makes you insanely jealous (the splashing in the pool sealed the deal, right?), we hope you’ll attend a future event. We hope to bring Offline Camp to the West Coast in the fall of 2016 and to Europe in the spring of 2017. In the meantime, keep perusing this Offline Camp Medium publication for more recaps of our discussions and follow @offlinecamp on Twitter for updates. We can’t wait to meet you. Or see you again. Or meet you and then see you again.
UPDATE: Registration is open for Offline Camp California, taking place November 4–7, 2016 in Santa Margarita, CA. We hope you can join us!
