Making connections around the campfire at Summercamp 2017
Who they are
For the sixth year in a row, WeWork, the global company that rents out shared office spaces, hosted an epic weekend-long summercamp for its employees and members.
Hosted in 2017 for the first time in Eridge Park in the UK, about 2,000 employees and 4,000 members flew from all over the world to attend the festivities and to experience the power of the WeWork community — all while having a great time.

The activities were hugely successful with Summercampers, and we had over 600 people from all over the world take part in our activities, which included making fires, building shelters, foraging and making wild cocktails, natural awareness and much more.
