Summer Camp at Sea

You’ve tried the tactics, bought the courses, and your marketing still isn’t working. This is the reset where you get back on track.

June 19-27, 2027

Let’s do this!

It’s another Monday, and you still don’t know what you’re supposed to post.

So you do a little of everything….

A reel when you catch a break between calls, a networking event that you happened to remember, and a lead magnet you started three months ago and is still unfinished.

And somehow you’re always busy with marketing but never actually ahead on it.

This is exactly what happens when your marketing is running on unfocused effort with nothing tying it together, and no dedicated time to ever catch up.

Summer Camp at Sea is where you finally do.

Eight days to get your marketing back on track, knock out the things you’ve been putting off for months, and get far enough ahead that the rest of your year stops feeling like catch-up.

Complete with a certified coach in your corner and a room full of other travel advisors doing the work right beside you.

Map Your Strategy

We meet over Zoom to map out your punch list, aka the exact things you’re going to work on. You’ll pack with your new content in mind.

2

Arrive & Start Creating

Board the Celebrity Beyond in Miami, meet your fellow Summer Campers, and kick off the welcome event.

Here’s How It Works

Go Deeper

Sea days are for focused sessions and port days are yours to explore Aruba, Curaçao, and Bonaire.

4

Leave Ahead

You’ll go home knowing your next moves and ahead for the rest of your year, not buried under it.

What Past Attendees Are Saying:

  • You will feel so much more accomplished!

    I highly recommend other travel pros to attend Summer Camp because we all know that they have things going on in their business that they are brushing aside and not making time/getting the time to get done. You will feel so much more accomplished by being in this type of environment to work with other like minds to focus on checking off the list!

  • The friendships you’ll make! Priceless.

    Because it’s completely immersive without being isolating. You’re free from day-to-day distractions, which means you can actually make progress on your to-do list (imagine that!). You’re surrounded by colleagues to brainstorm with, bounce ideas off of, and learn alongside. You’ll even get support for capturing B-roll and content for social media (yes, you’ll leave with usable footage!). And the friendships you’ll make? Priceless.

Leave with content that makes you the face of your business, marketing that’s back on track and moving, and a community of travel agents in your corner from this moment forward.

I’ve got to be there!

This retreat is perfect for you if…

  • You’re a travel entrepreneur (advisor, agency owner, VA, consultant, creator, you’re all welcome here)
  • You’ve tried the tactics and you’re tired of doing all of it with nothing to show for it
  • There’s a list of marketing things you’ve been meaning to do for months and you never get to any of it
  • You’re tired of feeling behind, and want to get ahead
  • You’re ready to build genuine partnerships and get on other people’s platforms
  • You believe in collaboration over competition and want to lift others as you climb
  • You want to build your on-camera confidence in a supportive, no-judgment environment
  • You value diverse perspectives and inclusive connections in this industry

“It’s like a workation on a beautiful ship with other TAs to brainstorm and collaborate with.”

— Karla F., SF Virtual Solutions

The lively scene captures their focus and creativity against a backdrop of historic Dutch architecture and a Hudson’s Bay storefront.

Maybe skip this if…

  • You’re looking for a traditional training where you just sit and take notes
  • You prefer working solo and don’t enjoy collaboration or accountability
  • You’re expecting all vacation, optional work; this is equal parts productivity and play
  • You’re not ready to be on camera or capture content featuring you
  • You resist feedback, brainstorming, or being part of a supportive community
  • You’re not ready to take action on your visibility and marketing
  • You’re unwilling to respect or learn from people with different backgrounds, identities, or perspectives
I’m in – get me started!

Where better to finally get your marketing ecosystem working than with a community of travel pros who are ready to show up on camera, and for each other?

About your Host, aka Den Mom

Hi there! I’m Rita M. Perez, a Latina and Autoimmune Warrior who has been in the industry since 2010 thanks to my Masters Degree and a trip to Tunisia.

I created Summer Camp at Sea because I kept seeing the same problems. Brilliant travel advisors who are incredible at what they do, worried they’re not attracting enough of the right leads, and when they do, struggling to convert them into the revenue they need to sustain their businesses.

My favorite part of Summer Camp? Creating the ultimate “you can sit with us” community, watching those lightbulb moments turn into real confidence, and seeing how incredible you look in your new content.

I’m also a huge fan of Game of Thrones, The Nightmare Before Christmas, most things nerdy, as well as working on puzzles and paint-by-numbers.

“The biggest bonus? You get to hang out with Rita. Enough said.”

— Alycen King, A King’s Daughter Travel

The Bottom Line

You didn’t become a travel entrepreneur to stay broke and invisible.

You started this business to share your expertise, attract dream clients, and yes, to travel 🙂

But you’ve probably figured out by now that posting on social media isn’t enough anymore.

You need to be visible across multiple channels (online and offline), to content that actually features you (not just the destination), and to actually put it work, so it’s not collecting dust on the digital shelf.

Summer Camp at Sea is where that finally happens. Eight days to capture exceptional content of you in the ABC Islands, draft the posts, emails, and pitches you’ll actually send, and get your multi-channel marketing back on track and working.

You’ll leave knowing exactly what to do, the content already in hand to do it, and finally ahead of where you’ve been all year.

How much longer are you willing to stay busy and behind?

FAQ

Summer Camp at Sea is a 2-step process. Step 1 is to submit your application, review the agreement, and pay your registration invoice. Step 2 is to register for your cruise cabin under the group block. Then ta-da, you’ll be working with us aboard SCAS 2027!

You definitely do 🙂 This is to help the cruise line keep track of who is in the group, and the special benefits assigned just to our group. This also helps the groups dept keep track of our meeting space needs.

Summer Camp at Sea 2027 will set sail aboard Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Beyond.

I highly recommend that you arrive in Miami, FL at least one day prior to sailing. On that note, I also highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance.

Most definitely! Even though this is a closed loop cruise, having a passport is essential in our industry 🙂

You certainly can 🙂 Your roommate does not need to be a travel advisor. When you apply for Summer Camp at Sea, please specify that you’ll be traveling with someone that won’t be attending Summer Camp. (Guests will not be charged the registration fee. If you would like them to attend the group specialty dinner, we will coordinate payment for that at a later time.)

I got you 🙂 For your retreat registration, I’m happy to break up payments to as many as 4 payments. For your cruise payments, I’m happy to do similar, as long as all payments are completed by the final payment date.

Heck no! While you will be getting a lot of work done, it’s incredibly important to me (and you!) to get some downtime on your own. For the most part, when we’re in port, you’re free from group events, where most time on the ocean will be dedicated to Summer Camp events.

No worries at all! That’s why you’ve got me 🙂 I’m going to be guiding you every step of the way. You may feel a little awkward in the beginning, but you’ll leave a total pro in front of the camera.
