Basecamp level 1
The first step toward change
Basecamp
Our potential is far greater than we think.
Once you discover it – and start using your talents – you gain much more confidence and drive. That is why we call Camp True North a real mental boost.
You tap into a whole new level of your own resources – and the feeling of being true to yourself.
The 5 days are packed with inspiration, growth and training in personal leadership. You will laugh, you will be challenged – and you will build a strong network of other young people who also want more out of life.
It all starts at Basecamp. This is where you begin to discover your strengths, build your ability to take action and learn strategies that make everyday life easier and more meaningful.
It is only 5 days. But what you learn about yourself can change your life.
"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away"
Who comes to True North?
Young people who want to make things happen.
If you are reading this, you are probably part of Generation Z.
A lot is expected of you – and you are demanding things in return. You no longer want to be reduced to grades and performance. Instead, you are part of a healthy shift toward a bigger focus on who you want to be – and how you want to live. At Camp True North, you will meet around 100 other young people aged 14-20.
All kinds of people. Different stories. Different dreams. But all part of the next generation of leaders. In your own lives and in the world.
Research, experience and a professional team
A process that gets you results fast
True North’s research-based method is designed to get you the biggest results in the shortest possible time. Nothing in our program is random. We have worked with more than 55,000 young people – and the process works.
That is why we have a 4.9 rating on Trustpilot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Days at Camp True North are packed with storytelling, activities, challenges and coaching.
You are divided into teams of about 12 young people. Your team stays together all week with two team leaders who support you, challenge you and cheer you on.
Our approach is built on experiential learning. That means lots of activities where you – together with your team – solve a challenge, find your way, crack codes and so on. This is how you discover your strengths, but also start to notice where you hold yourself back and which beliefs you carry with you.
Between sessions and talks, there are plenty of breaks with music, sports, hanging out – and time with new friends.
What our campers say
The best week ever
Everyone is really nice, and there’s such a good vibe here. It’s a bit nerve-racking at first, but you quickly get to know people, and all the instructors are super nice and great at supporting you through the challenges. Nothing is actually hard, but it can definitely be challenging. Everyone helps each other. I really like being here.
Go for it
Camp has definitely given me the courage to try new things – and to figure out what I actually want and how to prioritize it. I didn’t really feel like going, but I’m so glad I went, and I’ve made loads of new friends.
Feeling happier
My biggest worry was that I’d be too old, but everyone on the team was the same age. It was such a relief to find a community where everyone supports each other, and the program has made me much calmer about my future. First up, I’m going on a gap year with two of the other girls from my team… once I’ve graduated, that is 😄. I feel motivated and happy in a way I haven’t felt for a long time.
