I loved that it was small and we were encouraged to mix it up with different colleagues. The environment was warm and comfortable. The sessions were engaging and informative. And each speaker was so accessible!
Thank you to the Camp Collab team for all of your hard work in bringing this conference together!"

Head Counselors

Sam Panitch

Co-Founder of Elevation Nation & Product manager and design operations lead at the EY Design Studio
Sam thought he did everything "right". Got good grades, the perfect internships, an awesome job after college. But upon graduation, he felt lost, without purpose, and directionless. This experience inspired the creation of Elevation Nation and now, Sam aims to shed light on the struggles young adults face while helping them elevate their mindsets in the real world.

Parker Yablon

Co-Founder of Elevation Nation & People Consultant at EY
Finding your purpose in life doesn't come easy. And that purpose certainly changes over time. After graduating college, Parker had a dream corporate job and was eager to make an impact at his company. The realities of being a young adult in the real world quickly set in. Now, he helps others navigate their uncertainty, inspiring them to elevate their mindset and their communities.
