  • Laissez les bon temps rouler! Or, as the motto of New Orleans translates to, “Let the good times roll!”

    Welcome to Q3 2023 Camp Venture! Our reception tonight is about meeting and connecting with teammates - many for the very first time!

  • This time is yours! Relax, reset, and recharge.

  • There is no better way to close out Day 1 of Camp Venture than by immersing ourselves in an iconic part of the culture and history of New Orleans.

    Since 1947, artists and craftsmen have designed and built the oldest and biggest parade floats and attractions for each Mardi Gras season, with over 500 floats built and decorated annually.

    During our Mardi Gras World tour, we’ll get an overview of the history of Mardi Gras in New Orleans before continuing through the float den, where the artists work year-round to build spectacular floats and props. We’ll never get this close to the floats while they’re rolling in Mardi Gras parades, and this is undoubtedly the only place to see how these fantastic pieces come to life each year. Together, we’ll see where the Mardi Gras magic is made!

    We’ll conclude our tour with a Mardi Gras Mask Making Workshop and dinner together as a team.

Wednesday

  • The Studio 5 Experience serves as the conduit that guides our expectations of how we show up in our roles and the process our Thought Partners are promised along their journey.
