When we first launched the Skycamp 1.0 on Kickstarter in 2017, our biggest hope was that we would help play a small part in making the outdoors more accessible. We never guessed that we’d build an online community of a quarter million users, host thousands of campers for epic events across the country, and develop hundreds of new products that would be used around the world. When you open that iKamper delivery box for the first time, you aren’t just receiving a top-of-the-line RTT – you’re stepping into an incredible community of adventurers, dreamers, and damn good people.
If there's one thing we’ve learned along the way, it's that the iKamper Community is made up of some of the best folks around. But we actually already knew that to be true - y'all have always been the best! From swapping stories over a cup of coffee at our Breakfast and Builds events to chatting with road trippers at the base of the Redwoods, we’ve been constantly impressed by how involved and committed the growing network of iKamper owners has become. We’ll be sure to let you know once we finish creating the official iKamper secret handshake and developing our own version of the Jeep wave!
CAMPOUT Customer Meetup
This year’s been hectic for so many reasons, but our community continues to show up again and again. When we hosted our annual CAMPOUT in August, we had high hopes for how many of you would make the trek – and we were still blown away when over 200 of the iKamper faithful showed up for a weekend at the Black Oaks Ranch in NorCal! This is where the rubber really meets the road, and we got to spend 3 days creating memories with some of the most adventurous people from all over the US. We had friends join us from 12 different states and Canada, and even as far east as Florida – talk about one heck of a drive! Get the inside scoop on the event and catch the full weekend recap here:
When we asked attendees what their favorite part about CAMPOUT was, the answer often came in just a word or two. Most folks responded with ‘the people!’ or ‘community!’, and a couple ‘everything!’s to spice things up. It’s been fascinating to see online relationships transform into real-life connections right in front of us, and we’re stoked to just be a small part of it. We’ve loved seeing strangers turn into friends through our iKamper Nation Community, and local weekend outings come to life through our Facebook Community group. There’s so much to be said for finding commonalities through adventure and sharing memories in the great outdoors, and we can’t wait to do more of it in the years to come!
The outdoors is for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or new to the camping space, there’s always a seat at the table for you. After spending three sun-baked days at the Black Oak Ranch, it’s clear that the iKamper Community is an awesome blend of rugged overlanders and weekend warriors, but we’re family all the same. Your adventures and trip recaps have only strengthened our commitment to creating the best outdoor gear in the world, and we promise to be there for you every step of the way. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!
