Camp GLP (Good Life Project)Camp GLP (Good Life Project)
September 11, 2014, Rock Hill, NY

Camp GLP is one part summer camp and one part small biz accelerator. It is a way for entrepreneurs, makers and aspiring world-shakers to step out of their everyday reality, reconnect with people who are going through similar journeys, rediscover play and nature, experience moments of ease and joy and at the same time get a ton of real business value.

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.

  1. Camp GLP sounds interesting. I am also as excited with Author Marketing Live as it is an event that showcases talent.

  2. Wow seems like interesting seminars are coming up to help small businesses grow faster, as these events shouldn’t be missed, rather all enthusiasm needs to shown to be a part of such mega events.
