Owner “Ski” Camp Whistler • December 8–December 12, 2024
Get the Answers You Need
Running a digital agency is tough. Like many of us, you probably didn’t study business management in school, and are now inexplicably running a business. Wouldn't it be nice just to get away for a few days to recharge your batteries and talk to your peers? Your real peers?
Join us at Owner “Ski” Camp Whistler, to enjoy the splendor of the wilderness and take some time for yourself. And you can’t get great answers just sitting in a conference room, so we’ll spend the final day engaged in great discussions either on the slopes or by the fire with a hot toddy.

How it Works
A majority of our camps sell out in advance, so we curate them by application to ensure we allocate tickets fairly and you get the right experience with people who share your challenges. Once your application is approved, you’ll receive an invite to register.
“Attending Owner Camp is one of the best things I do for my agency. Getting advice and support from a room full of people with varying perspectives and experiences -- but all in the same industry -- is incredible.”
— Andi Graham, CEO & Managing Partner; Founder at Big Sea

“Owner Camp is a unique experience that is unlike any other "agency business" events I've ever attended. It's amazing how insightful it is when you have a small group of agency leaders letting their guards down and really sharing their struggles, successes, and strategies. I always come away from these events energized, refreshed, and ready to lead my agency with a new perspective. Absolutely a must for any digital agency owner!”
— Adam Gesuero, Partner & Creative Director at Image Conscious Studios

INVALUABLE CONNECTIONS
Owner Camp is the chance to talk with fellow owners in a safe space. Connect with new friends and allies while indulging in the wilderness, enjoying mountain views or trading war stories around a crackling fire. Forge connections that last long after you head home.
TIME TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS
In the busyness of the day-to-day, it's easy to miss the forest for the trees. Great ideas don’t happen in meetings or in front of a computer. They show up hiking a nature trail, over dinner or under the stars. Owner Camp gives you the space and fresh air you need for deep conversations and reflection, to uncover the best paths forward and implement change right away.
PURE INSPIRATION AWAITS
Creative spaces inspire creative problem solving. That’s why we've set Owner Camp in Whistler. At Owner Camp, there are no formal presentations, no structured work sessions, no speakers on stage. Just an unregimented meeting of the minds in an inspiring environment.
