Camp GLP (Good Life Project)
September 11, 2014, Rock Hill, NY
Camp GLP is one part summer camp and one part small biz accelerator.

Camp GLP, short for Good Life Project, is a 3-and-a-half-day excursion to Iroquois Springs Camp in Rock Hill, New York. It offers the full summer camp experience for adults, including classes, crafts, and even bunks (though single rooms are also available). Campers have access to more than 20 business workshops covering topics like crowdfunding, visual branding, podcasting, and more.
