Meet Mike. He's the co-owner of the brand Badfish SUP and is a lover of rivers, especially those in his home state of Colorado. Mike was born in the midwest but moved to Colorado with the gentle nudge from a mentor to become a whitewater rafting guide at 19 years old. Since that fated "hinge moment" in his life, Mike has never found himself too far away from whitewater. As a whitewater park engineer and now the co-owner of Badfish, Mike has mixed his passion, play, and career! Badfish SUPs are revolutionizing how river enthusiasts can enjoy the water as well as introducing the sport to anyone curious about it.  Follow Badfish SUP on Instagram Follow Mike on Instagram Check out the Miles Away short film project on Instagram (Miles is Mike's son) Need more Mike Harvey content?

Meet Kris. She's my mom! With Kris as the matriarch of the Camp Family, us boys have practically nothing to worry about as we jump head first into every adventure that we find even slightly entertaining. A total powerhouse of a woman, my mother has always put my brother and I as her first priority. After giving birth to yours truly, My mom quit her full time job and decided to build her own business in order to make sure she could spend as much time as possible with myself and eventually my brother, Jack. While not as traditionally outdoorsy or adventurous as myself, Kris held down the fort while us boys took off for a weekend of fun, usually sending us out the door with enough food to feed an army. Now, as an empty nester, she’s reconnecting with the things that make her happy and starting to find herself really enjoying the wonders of being outside. You can keep in touch with Kris on Facebook or Instagram! If you're still not the proud owner of any Camping Out merchandise, do to dancamp.net/shop!

There is a substantial importance to gently guiding kids to develop their own love of wild spaces, and as a mom, Carla has made it a priority.

Meet Todd. Todd is the founder, chairman, and charter member of The Reef Ball Foundation as well as an expert in designed reefs and their applications to help rehabilitate vital reef habitats across the world. Coral Reefs are the largest living structures on earth and are often referred to as the rainforests of the ocean. These reefs are the lifeblood of the ocean. Their existence provides essential habitat in the form of fisheries, protects fragile coasts as a buffer to constantly crashing waves, supports global economies, provides food to millions, and even are an essential component to developing new medicine and treatments. Todd’s love for these wild spaces led to the creation of Reef Ball and has attracted many supporters, including country singer Kenny Chesney! While climate change threatens to warm our oceans enough to wipe out our existing coral reefs, Todd Barber and the team at Reef Ball are seeking to restore these essential habitats, one reef ball at a time. To get involved with No Shoes Reefs, Follow them on Instagram and Facebook. Then go check out their website! From these resources, you can find several ways to get involved with No Shoes Reefs and the Reef Ball Foundation.  To connect with Todd, find him on Facebook at Todd Barber!

Welcome to the second installment of Camping Out with Dad! In these special episodes of the podcast, I’ll be sitting down with none other than the man who helped me get introduced to the wonderful world of outdoor recreation, my dad, Marc Camp. In this conversation, we reminisced on spring break adventures, where my dad would take a large group of high school kids off on multi day trips, usually somewhere within the Arcadia Valley of Missouri. We talk about the role of an impromptu outdoor educator, a role that many of us who love spending time outdoors at some point find ourselves in. How do we help educate others in a fun and enjoyable way? How do we accept and maximize our role of helping others fall in love with the outdoors? Have you gotten your Camping Out Merch yet?
