British Columbia · 4 days · From USD 950
Joymaker Camp is a first-of-its-kind leadership training that blends data-backed happiness science with the unbridled fun of an adult summer camp. Held in a strictly phone-free, substance-free mansion near Vancouver, the experience is designed to reshape your social habits. Rather than chasing a temporary high, you'll graduate with a practical certificate and the lifelong, recession-proof skills to create connection, spark energy, and inspire genuine joy in any room you enter.
Your day at the Joy Mansion begins without the buzz of a smartphone. Instead, you wake up to a complete digital detox and an immediate boost to your physical vitality. The morning starts with a curated vitality routine that combines joy workouts, mindfulness, and group play. Because you eat for energy, you'll join your new tribe in the kitchen to help prepare a nourishing vegetarian breakfast, naturally breaking down barriers and building community before the day has fully begun.
By mid-morning, the active training begins. Forget passive lectures. You'll spend up to eight hours each day immersed in experiential learning rooted in the science of happiness and social dynamics. Led by Jacques, every session is designed around play, interactive games, and low-pressure challenges that build your social courage. You'll practice the skills needed to start meaningful conversations, overcome social fear, and confidently lead group energizers that bring people together.
After a communal lunch, you'll enjoy four hours of free time in our specialized Vitality Lab. Relax in the 10-person hot tub overlooking the lake, take on the optional cold plunge, bounce on lymphatic mini trampolines, or unwind with red light therapy in the outdoor pavilion. It's a dedicated time to journal, rest, recharge, and integrate your daily breakthroughs. As evening approaches, the focus shifts to a deeper, more authentic human connection. You'll continue developing advanced social skills, including leading with vulnerability and creating meaningful conversations. Without professional masks or phone distractions, dinner feels like a meal shared with lifelong friends. The day ends around the outdoor fire, where you'll share stories, laughter, and genuine connection with 20 inspiring peers before heading to bed energized and ready to take the lead again tomorrow.
