I love everything about Type Camp. They create a safe place to learn and try new things and the instructors are so passionate and giving regarding their craft. I’ve done nearly all the Vancouver workshops and two travel camps, Galiano 2015 & Japan 2018. So much fun with such amazing people!

Calgary 2013
I was always intimidated by typography and stuff because it seems so serious with so many "rules" but now I'm really excited to do more and learn more! It was so great! I learned so many things that I can't wait to try in real life.

Galiano 2015
This is so unlike any other class I’ve taken because there is no competition or fear of failure. The best part is seeing everybody’s work, and giving and receiving support and advice. It is hard to describe the sense of friendship that develops at Type Camp.

It was so cool to be in an environment with others who had similar interests and got excited about the creative possibilities of the descender of a lowercase 'y'. . . . I'm so grateful for the skills that I've learned and really hope to attend another Type Camp.

California 2011
Having grown tired of the introductory, "sit-and-be-lectured-to" model of most traditional conferences, I wanted a more immersive, hands-on experience. I really wanted to learn something. In this case, by doing.
