Tucked away in the serene landscape of Vashon Island, Camp ThunderCraft has become a beacon for creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, offering a unique retreat for makers and small business owners from all walks of life. Nestled at the picturesque Camp Burton since 2017, this event has grown in popularity and its capacity to inspire and transform.
A Haven for Creatives
Camp ThunderCraft is more than just a retreat; it’s a thriving community of artists, crafters, and entrepreneurs who come together in what was once a tranquil, secluded camp setting. The camp boasts spacious meeting rooms, cozy cabins, and a welcoming lodge. But it’s not just the accommodation that’ll catch your eye—the food is phenomenal, and the vistas of lush greenery and tranquil waters are simply breathtaking.
Initiated in 2017, Camp ThunderCraft was designed to support and enhance the hundreds of small businesses that participate in the craft and food markets throughout the year. It’s a place where solitary workers—those accustomed to the confines of studios and home offices—gather to share, learn, and grow together. The energy when these creatives meet is palpable, filled with enthusiasm and a shared passion for their crafts.
Each year, the camp curates its programs based on feedback and suggestions from previous attendees, ensuring the content is both relevant and enriching. This year, for example, includes a class specifically aimed at helping small business owners with ADHD stay organized—a topic that has emerged from the community’s real-world challenges.
