FAQ
-
The next cycle of camps is for the 2027 season. Dates release this fall for the upcoming 2027 season. Our reserved campers get first access when they go live inside your Camper Portal.
-
Every camp runs on a private scavenger hunt app — but this isn't your average hunt. Daily missions take you to hidden gems, locals-only spots, and experiences you'd never find on Google. Complete challenges, climb the leaderboard, and earn points toward gifted experiences from paragliding to language classes. It's adventure with a purpose — a real passport into the city only locals get.
-
The fun starts the moment you reserve. You'll get instant access to your Camper Portal — your home base for everything ahead. Build your profile, share your vibe, and get matched with your group. As 2027 dates drop, you'll choose yours, lock in travel, and start the countdown to 10 days that will reshape what you thought life could look like.
-
All deposits for the 2027 season are fully refundable until October 31, 2026. Apply it to any camp, any destination, change anytime before dates are confirmed.
-
Absolutely. You can change your destinations any time before choosing and confirming your dates. We know life happens. If things change after date selection, contact us.
-
You’re in good hands. We all remember our first time and exist to make this as fun and effortless as possible. From visa guidance to getting around, new cultures to staying safe, we walk you through it all before you ever land.
Once you arrive, your camp counselor is your go to for any questions you may have. At EBC, we’ve all lived in these places long term and figured things out the hard way. We’re here to pay it forward so you get to immerse yourself in the experience instead.
-
You're matched with up to 9 like-minded campers before you ever land based on the interests, pace, and goals you share during onboarding.
(For example, it would make no sense to match someone clean and sober with 21 year olds looking to party.)
-
No — you book flights and handle your own visa (we guide you through both).
Your camp cost covers accommodations, in-destination transportation (where applicable), expert local guidance, your gamified experience, gifted experiences, and instant community.
-
The more the merrier! Whether you're sharing accommodations, traveling with a group needing a full house, have accessibility needs, surprising someone, or want a camp buyout for a private group — tell us during onboarding.
Note: We don't currently accommodate young children in our standard camps, but we build custom experiences for families, weddings, business retreats, and reunions. If you're interested in a families-only experience, contact us for more info.
