We’ve got you covered! One week after Camp DHL, we’ll add recordings of all the classes to the Camp DHL Lodge Page where you’ll be able to access any of the classes for 30 days! The best thing is that you’ll be able to watch any class that you missed too! We’ll also have opportunities for you to have access after the 30 days.
As soon as you register for Camp DHL, you’ll be given access to eight of our pre-recorded workshops. The live workshops will be released as noted on the schedule. The pre-recorded classes give you an opportunity to start learning right when you register or supplement the live classes.
Camp DHL does not offer any of the classes or activities on their own.
When you register for Camp DHL, you’ll be invited to join our private online community where you can get to know fellow campers and start to build connections. You’ll also be invited to join a Team Cabin where you can connect with your fellow campers right away. We’ll help foster the connections through our Team Cabin Guides featuring guided exercises, conversation starters and more suggested activities to get your creative and community sparks ignited!
No problem! You can take advantage of as much or as little of the community connection aspect of Camp DHL as you’d like. And, if you change your mind down the road, you’ll forever be able to join and engage in the private online community.
When you sign up for Camp DHL, you agree not to share your access information with anyone. If you do share any private participant links or access information, you will be violating a legal agreement. We are a micro-business that has taken a huge hit due to COVID and are hustling our buns off to continue to offer events and education for this community, please help us help you by respecting our policy and keeping your info to yourself.
Supplies are not included for the craft classes. Most classes will have a kit available (either through us or the instructor) for an additional fee (the fee depends on the class). You can either purchase the kit or use the supply list you’ll get to gather the supplies yourself.
When you register, you’ll be emailed with a link to the Camp DHL Lodge Page where you can find all the important details.
After each class there will be time for a Q & A with the presenter. While we can’t guarantee that your question will get answered during the class, we’ll do everything we can to help you get the info you need.
6-week cabin program
We’ve taken the expert guidance of a mastermind group, smooshed it with a craft club, added the support of an accountability partner and zipped them all together to make our Camp DHL Cabins. These six themed weeks are made up of guided small group discussions, hands-on solo and group projects, thoughtful exercises, weekly activities and special bonuses!
