We're on a mission
to help teams reconnect

We’re Johannes and Leo

Brothers, co-founders, and firm believers that teams do their best work when they're connected, to each other and to nature. We created Campfire Company to bring people together: unplugged, inspired, and fully immersed in the kind of experiences we loved as kids, as boy scouts in the Alps.

We lived through the startup grind

Before Campfire, we each ran our own ventures. Over a decade of building startups and leading teams taught us a lot, but it also brought us close to burnout. That's when we discovered coaching, facilitation, and training for teams, and realised that thriving teams need guidance, trust, and space to reconnect.

Nature showed us the way

During Covid, we started hosting countryside gatherings for friends. Days of workshops, hikes, campfires, and shared meals revealed something magical: people thrived when they were together in nature. The feedback kept coming: "our companies need this too!" That's when we saw the bigger picture.

Our first real test: Italy

In 2022, we moved to a small village in Piemonte, Italy, and ran our first Workation Village. Living and working there for months, organising retreats, facilitating workshops, and building community, we learned everything hands-on. It worked beautifully, both for our guests and for us.

Building the company

By 2023, Campfire Company officially launched, with entities in both Germany and Italy. We embraced our "German-Italian" mix: efficiency, reliability, creativity, and joy. Our mission became clear: nurture the teams that shape the future by connecting them with each other and with nature.

Today, we’re bringing teams together across Europe

Today, we run retreats and offsites in over 15 countries, helping ambitious teams recharge, connect, and thrive. Every campfire, every workshop, every conversation reminds us why we started: to create spaces where people feel inspired, connected, and ready to shape the future.

Europe's best retreat venues

We personally scout Europe to find spaces that inspire genuine connection. Every location is unique, but all our chosen venues pass our strict checks for atmosphere, comfort, and, crucially, good coffee.
