Why We Created Camp in a Box – Adventure Delivered!
A Different Kind of Camping Story
Camping is supposed to be about freedom, simplicity, and reconnecting with nature. But for us, it often felt like the opposite—stressful, overwhelming, and honestly, a bit of a pain in the butt. Packing gear, digging through storage bins, replacing broken items—it turned every trip into a chore before the adventure even started.
That frustration is exactly what inspired us to create Camp in a Box – Adventure Delivered!—a project born from love, built with care, and designed to make camping as simple, affordable, and fun as it should be.
Our Story: From Montessori Teacher and Agronomy Director to Outdoor Entrepreneurs
I’m Anna—a full-time Montessori preschool teacher turned outdoor business owner. I’ve always loved adventure, animals, and the outdoors. My husband, Michael, is a smarty pants with a sharp sense of humor and a passion for nature. He’s a director of agronomy at a high-end golf course, which means he knows a thing or two about landscapes and what it takes to care for them… except when it comes to our yard, ha!
For years, we owned all our own camping gear. We’d head out whenever time allowed, and while those trips were unforgettable, the prep work was exhausting. Every time we planned a weekend away, we’d spend hours searching for gear, fixing things, or making last-minute store runs. Sometimes it felt like by the time we were ready to leave, we were already tired.
When Michael’s career took us across California, Arizona, and even Hawaii, we discovered something else—moving with all that bulky camping gear was even worse. Lugging tents, stoves, coolers, and bins across states was a constant headache. It wasn’t just inconvenient—it made us camp less, even though we loved being outdoors.
And that broke our hearts a little. Because for us, camping was never about the gear itself. It was about what the gear allowed us to do: slow down, disconnect from technology, and reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the natural world around us.
That’s when we knew something had to change.
The Turning Point: Disconnect to Reconnect
Earlier this year, I decided to step away from teaching. I loved being a Montessori teacher, but both Michael and I felt it was time to create something of our own. Something we could pour our energy, creativity, and love into. Something that reflected what mattered most to us.
And what matters most is this: Helping people disconnect to reconnect.
We live in a world that runs at double speed. Work emails, errands, kids’ schedules, endless notifications—it’s easy to forget what quiet feels like. Camping has always been our way to pause and breathe again. To watch the stars, listen to the wind in the trees, laugh around a fire, and feel small (in the best way) in nature.
But too many people miss out on that because of one thing: Excuses.
“I don’t own the gear.”
“It’s too expensive.”
“I don’t have the space to store everything.”
“I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
We’ve been there, too. And that’s why we built Camp in a Box - Adventure Delivered!
Our Solution: Curated Kits for Every Kind of Camper
We created three curated camping kits to take away the stress and bring back the joy:
The Base Camp Kit
– budget-friendly, perfect for first-time or casual campers.
The Adventure Kit
– designed for small groups who want convenience with a little extra comfort.
The Expedition Kit
– for families or explorers who want the full experience without the hassle.
Each kit includes quality gear that’s clean, complete, and ready to use. We handle the packing, delivery, and even prepaid returns. That means no excuses—just more time for making memories under the stars.
You can request doorstep delivery if you’re in the Bay Area, or we’ll ship a kit anywhere nationwide. Either way, the process is designed to feel effortless. And if you want to know exactly how it works, we’ve made it easy to follow: See our How It Works

Why This Is More Than a Business
For us, Camp in a Box - Adventure Delivered! It’s not just a business—it’s a project created with love. Every detail, from the gear we select to the way we sanitize it, comes from the heart. We built this service because we wanted to give people the best possible chance to experience what we treasure most: time in nature, free of excuses.
We believe camping shouldn’t be complicated. It should be accessible, affordable, and fun. Parents introducing their kids to their very first campfire can do it with confidence. Busy professionals who crave a weekend escape don’t have to spend hours planning. And anyone who’s dreamed of trying camping but didn’t know where to start can finally jump in without worry.
