What is Basecamp?


Basecamp allows you to create or join a group of other people on Summit to have social accountability towards goals. Just like you wouldn’t climb a mountain alone (typically) - going on a journey to accomplish big goals can also be easier if you have a support system through your basecamp. This is the first iteration of basecamp and there’s a lot we can do to improve it - if you have any feedback or ideas, please send us an email: alex@summit.im
When you are in a basecamp you choose what goals you want to share with the basecamp. When a goal is being shared, any activity logged for that goal will be shared automatically. If you are in a basecamp, you can see your fellow basecamp members goal activity and react to it.

Choose “Create new” and follow the setup flow. You’ll get to choose a name for your basecamp and you’ll receive a link. Sharing this link is how others join your basecamp. They can either join directly via link or enter the code.
