Introducing Campfire Company: A Fresh Approach to Team Building
In today’s remote and hybrid work culture, team cohesion, creativity, and trust often suffer. The rise of virtual teams, while offering flexibility, has led to feelings of isolation, silos, and burnout among employees. Recognizing these challenges, Campfire Company has emerged as a solution. The company specializes in organizing bespoke company retreats that combine team-building activities with the power of nature to transform workplaces.
Founded in 2021 by Johannes Hoyos and Leo Hoyos, Campfire Company has rapidly grown to a team of over 20 experts. The company has already designed more than 250 company retreats across Europe for teams ranging from 20 to 1000 people. Their focus is on offering end-to-end event management services, ensuring seamless planning from venue selection and activity design to travel management and event facilitation.
“Come as a team, leave as a tribe” – this is the mantra behind Campfire Company. Their nature-centered company offsites immerse employees in the serene beauty of Europe’s most inspiring locations. By stepping out of their usual work environment, teams are able to rebuild trust, re-energize their spirit, and foster creativity.
A Bespoke Approach to Company Retreats
Campfire Company is not your average company retreat provider. Unlike generic retreat planners who rely on one-size-fits-all templates, Campfire offers highly customized experiences tailored to each company’s unique goals. Whether it’s aligning a team around a new strategy or combating burnout, each retreat is specifically designed to address the client’s needs.
By carefully selecting venues nestled in nature and sometimes otherwise, Campfire creates retreats that blend strategic deep work with outdoor adventures. This unique combination allows teams to disconnect from the stresses of daily work and reconnect with each other in meaningful ways.
As a company that values radical transparency and long‑term trust over short‑term wins, Campfire ensures there are no hidden fees in the planning process. Clients receive clear, upfront proposals and are invited into every step of the journey, so they always understand both the numbers and the “why” behind key decisions. This openness has earned Campfire Company glowing reviews, with an average Trustpilot score of 4.7/5, and the long‑term trust of companies such as Grafana, Yeti, Dell, n8n and many more who turn to Campfire for culture‑shaping team retreats.
Addressing Remote Work Pain Points
Hybrid and remote-first companies face several challenges: communication silos, low energy, burnout, and creativity blockages. These issues are common in fast-growing scaleups, where leadership may be spread out across different locations, leaving employees feeling disconnected and unengaged. Campfire Company is tackling these problems head-on by offering tailored retreats that foster team connection.
Campfire’s retreats help to:
- Rebuild trust: By engaging in real-time collaborative activities, teams restore the trust often eroded by remote work silos.
- Energize employees: The immersive experience, combined with physical activities in nature, boosts morale and motivation.
- Spark creativity: Immersing teams in new environments away from their usual workspaces promotes fresh thinking and innovative solutions.
Each retreat is designed to address these issues by blending time for deep, strategic work with opportunities for relaxation and adventure. Whether it’s hiking in the mountains, exploring local culture, or participating in team challenges, Campfire retreats offer a refreshing break from the grind of daily remote work.
Scaling the Retreat Experience
Campfire Company’s rapid growth speaks to the increasing demand for impactful, high-quality company retreats. In less than two years, the company has expanded its team from two founders to a staff of more than 20 experts. This growth reflects the company’s ability to deliver exceptional retreats that have a lasting impact on team dynamics and company culture.
The company’s approach has resonated with a broad range of industries, including tech, finance, and consulting. By focusing on what truly matters, connection, trust, and creativity, Campfire Company has positioned itself as a leader in the company retreat space.
Client Success Stories
The success of Campfire’s retreats is best reflected in the feedback from its clients. Companies consistently praise the company for its exceptional organization, flexibility, and transformative event experiences.
Clients highlight Campfire’s ability to exceed expectations, with many returning for multiple retreats. Testimonials often mention how the retreats have revitalized teams, fostered stronger collaboration, and led to increased employee engagement and retention.
One client, an HR manager from a rapidly growing startup, shared, “Our retreat with Campfire was a game-changer. The experience not only strengthened our team’s bond, but it also gave us the clarity we needed to move forward with a new strategic vision. We left the retreat feeling more aligned, energized, and ready to tackle our next big project.”
