The Venue
Rooted in the timeless American tradition of hitting the road, AutoCamp’s
properties take everything that’s great about sleeping in wilderness and make it even better with impeccable design and luxury comfort.
Mint Collective has worked with AutoCamp from the very beginning and have had the pleasure of helping clients and groups design iconic, nature-centric experiences.
Mint believes access to nature revitalizes the spirit and reinvigorates the mind. It creates remarkable opportunities for fun and authentic interactions, and that is what is so great about the AutoCamp concept.
Unique retreats and offsite gatherings offer a break from the usual environment and routine. It becomes a crucial and revitalizing change of scenery that can help leadership teams, employees and thought leaders (really anyone) rejuvenate and experience a sense of coming back to themselves as people, capable of creativity and active collaboration.
