Owner Camp 2026 🚐 🌲
Ten vans rolling in from all directions, twenty-one people who’d never actually met, but who’d all made the same call at some point, for probably a lot of the same reasons. We had a hunch that was enough common ground to build something on. Turns out, it was.
The idea was straightforward: back to simpler times. Slow down, unplug, enjoy the ride.
We came as strangers. We left with each other’s coffee orders memorized and someone else’s playlist stuck in our heads.
Take away the noise, even for a few days, and you get people who are actually with each other, present in a way that’s hard to come by anymore. None of the best moments were on the schedule. The group made them happen.
☕️ Bright and early, the espresso machines were plugged in and purring, ready for the many rounds of Owner Camp Café.
Afternoons were unplanned and slow, exactly how we wanted them.
🍻 Cold beers chilled in the river. Post-ride affogatos. Pizza straight from the oven. Rebecca’s infamous margs on taco night.
There’s no faster way to turn strangers into friends than putting good food in front of them.
🌊 Good things happen on the lake.
🚵 Ten vans down the FSR, dust in the mirrors, bikes in tow. Some days remind you that everything’s better on two wheels — this was one of them.
🦖 One night, we broke out a 120” screen and a projector for a movie under the stars, Jurassic Park, Jiffy Pop, the works. Because we like to camp, but we still like a little comfort while we’re at it.
This was our first Owner Camp, and it won’t be the last. If reading this made you wish you’d been there, you can be, next time. Ready to join the Yama Fam?
