Welcome to Camp Vibes

Build Smarter This Summer

Last summer, we introduced Camp Vibes and helped businesses across Southeastern Massachusetts take their first steps into AI. This year, we're going deeper, helping professional services firms in Boston and beyond cut through the hype to find what can actually work.

Summer Camp 2026 is a season-long learning experience built around two skill tracks — each one designed to help your team move from "we should probably do something with AI" to actually doing it well. It's not about selling you something or building hype

What You'll Learn:

  • Beginner-Friendly Guide: "Your Trail Map to AI"
    We'll kick things off with a simple, jargon-free guide to vibe coding and AI implementation — what it is, why it matters, and how you can start experimenting. Think of it as your first compass: a way to explore AI without getting lost in the weeds. It's ready to download right now!
  • Weekly Campfire Content: "Stories, Skills, and S'more"
    Every week, we'll share quick videos, blog posts, and simple challenges that show AI in action. You'll learn by watching, but also by doing — building small projects that spark ideas for your own business. It's bite-sized learning with plenty of light-bulb moments.
  • Live Workshops:
    Join us for live sessions focusing on different aspects of AI implementation that will help your business ranging from creating your road map, data safety, and a live implementation demo. This month we're planning to help you navigate the shifting seas of AI so you can build policies and frameworks to know what's going to fit your business.

Why AI Matters for Small Businesses

Camp Vibes and helped businesses take their first steps into AI. A lot has changed since then. AI tools aren't new anymore — they're everywhere. The challenge has shifted from "should we be using AI?" to "how do we use it without wasting money, exposing client data, or just adding noise?"

Done right, AI can:

  • Save real time — automate the repetitive work that eats hours every week
  • Improve decision-making — surface information faster so your team can act on it
  • Strengthen security — but only if you've set the guardrails before you flip the switch
  • Drive growth — without adding headcount or overhead

The difference between firms that get value from AI and firms that just get invoices? A plan. That's what this summer is about.

Go in with a plan — not a wish

Most firms are buying AI faster than they're learning to use it. The Navigator badge is about getting your bearings before you spend another dollar. You'll learn how to audit what you're already paying for, find the right starting point in your actual workflows, and build a 90-day roadmap that fits a firm your size.

Data Safety

Build tools without the stress of starting from scratch.

AI tools are hungry for data — and most firms have no written policy about what's safe to share. The Data Safety badge closes that gap. You'll learn where your data actually goes when it enters an AI tool, how to build governance that works without slowing everything down, and what your team needs to know before they paste anything into a prompt.

AI Champion

Lead your team into the future of work — with confidence.

You've built the roadmap. You've set the guardrails. Now it's time to actually put AI to work in your daily operations — and bring your team along. The AI Champion badge is the capstone: it's about turning strategy and safety into execution, and becoming the person at your firm who can cut through the noise and lead.
