When a moment of frustration met a community that believed in her, CampNexxus was born at Workbar Salem.
When a moment of frustration met a community that believed in her, CampNexxus was born at Workbar Salem.
Apparently, I was complaining about it so much that Amy, the Community Manager at Workbar Salem, said, ‘Why don’t you just build it?’ That moment changed everything.
For years, Lindsey Whiteley juggled parenting, entrepreneurship, and the annual chaos of summer camp planning. Between forms, spreadsheets, and scattered websites, she realized something simple yet infuriating: there had to be a better way.
So when our Community Manager at Workbar Salem overheard her venting and said, “Why don’t you just build it?” Lindsey decided to do exactly that.
What started as a personal pain point turned into a purpose-driven tech platform. CampNexxus is simplifying summer by connecting families with local camps, helping parents discover new programs, organize schedules, and bring order to the mayhem of camp sign-ups.
But the real story isn’t just about what Lindsey built. It’s about how she built it.
At Workbar Salem, Lindsey found more than a desk. She found a community of other founders who understood what it’s like to chase an idea that keeps you up at night. It’s where she first met Workbar CEO, Sarah Travers, who instantly connected with the problem CampNexxus was solving, and with the challenges that come with starting something new.
Together, the two often talked about funding and growth, swapping stories about the ups and downs, building traction, and making big decisions when you’re bootstrapping a company from scratch. Those conversations, filled with candor and laughter, are the kind of moments that can only happen when you’re surrounded by people who get it.
As Sarah put it, “You’re not going to find those conversations at home—or with your dog. You have to be in the right environment. Workbar is the right environment.”
From frustration to innovation, from one mom’s idea to a growing company, CampNexxus proves that when the right idea meets the right space, magic happens.
And what better place for the magic to happen than at Workbar Salem?
You’re not going to find those conversations at home—or with your dog. You have to be in the right environment. Workbar is the right environment.
Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. Behind every great idea is a community that believes in it. At Workbar, you’ll find the support, connection, and confidence to turn “what if” into “what’s next.”
