What to Expect on your next Basecamp Brooklyn Camping Trip (hint: food, fun, and more!)
If you’re familiar with Basecamp Brooklyn, you know we love building community, going on adventures, and eating good food. So this is exactly what you can expect from a Basecamp Brooklyn Culinary Camping Weekend.
Mindblowingly Delicious Campfire Cookouts
Chef Allan’s food can be described as a melting pot of diverse cultural influences, reminiscent of his New York City upbringing. He pairs these eclectic influences with a love of the outdoors to bring you five star campfire dining - an experience you can’t find anywhere else!
Camping Experts to help you get comfortable no matter what your camping skill level
Hosts Allan and Erin, combined, have over 75 years of camping experience (that sounds nuts, but when you start camping at 5 years old it adds up quick!) They’ve pretty much done it all: Backpacking, Winter Camping, Canoe Camping, Overlanding, Car Camping, Motorcycle Camping, Bicycle Camping and Full Time Nomad Life. They’ve travelled through various terrains, including desert, forests, swamps, and waterways. They’ve canoed past alligators, jumped off waterfalls, and removed rodents from their engine block.
So no need to worry. Whether this is your first camping excursion or you’re an old pro, we’ve got your back. Bring all your gear and set up on your own, or rent our camping gear for the weekend, to get you started on your camping adventures.
Community Building means fun times around the Campfire
Besides a full belly and a comfortable bed, the next most important part of camping is a great time around the campfire. At any Basecamp Brooklyn event you’ll be sure to enjoy great conversation and some impromptu music, as you enjoy a roaring fire, brought to you by the fire master himself, Allan.
Want to learn to build your own roaring fire? The fire master is always accepting padawans to train in pyrotechnic skill. Just volunteer, and Allan will teach you everything you need to know.
Ready to explore nature? Let’s go!
We love open roads and forest trails for walking, riding or overlanding. Don’t forget a refreshing dip in a cool stream, plus a quick trip into town to enjoy the local culture and flavors. We love finding natural beauty that may or may not be on the official visitors map. Rest assured that all Basecamp Brooklyn outdoor events will allow you some free time to explore, using our suggested routes and destinations, or to embark on your own adventure.
Leave your Stress in the City. It’s time to Relax.
Let us do all the heavy lifting. With your meals all planned out and the campfire roaring, all you need to do is pop your tent, hang your hammock, and get ready for some relaxation and fun. Bring your friends or make new friends over the weekend. We’re all one big, happy community.
We can’t control the weather, but we can prepare for fun in all circumstances. Check out one of our east coast adventures, where the rain couldn’t dampen our enthusiasm for delicious campfire ribs!
