CAMP Coworking

Jump on the Interstate: Five reasons to commute to CAMP

One of the most common concerns we hear from coworkers before they take the plunge into coworking is that CAMP, located in North Downtown, isn’t a convenient drive from West Omaha or South Omaha or wherever they are commuting from. Find out why our CAMP commuters are glad they made the trip:

1. In a coffee shop or a smaller workspace, distractions are everywhere. But with 2,000 square feet at CAMP, you can have a phone conversation, bring a client in for a meeting, or even take on an extra employee or two without the anxiety of disturbing those around you. We have the space to allow you to work at your best alone or with your team—whether it’s sitting at a desk, in an armchair with your headphones on, or on a comfy couch with a cup of Starbucks coffee.

2. A short commute to the office—20 minutes or less—can lead to more productivity and results in your work. If you’re jumping on the interstate from West Omaha to spend the day at CAMP, use the travel time to focus on what you want to accomplish and prioritize your tasks that day. If you’re self-employed or work from home, you will notice the difference in focus and productivity that comes from working in a supportive coworking space as opposed to a home office. A recent Gallup study showed that the happiest people and most productive workers get eight hours of social interaction every day. We have trouble finding time to be social when we are always working, but at CAMP you can have both.

3. With a full-time membership, you have the flexibility to work any time you want. If you like to beat the traffic, you have the freedom to come in early to work or head out later and you’ll never be bounded by business hours. You can also get to know your fellow night owls and early birds in the building—there is always someone buzzing around.

4. CAMP’s North Downtown location is close to everything you already want to be a part of. Just steps from Blue Line coffee, the Hot Shops art galleries, Film Streams cinema, great music venue The Slowdown and the new TD Ameritrade Stadium, home of the College World Series, you don’t have to feel like you are missing out on Omaha’s cultural offerings. Commuting to CAMP puts you in a great environment to engage with customers, and you always have the opportunity to take in a show or go out to dinner after a long day.

5. At CAMP, you can benefit from the creative energy and professional resources of everyone else in The Mastercraft, where we are located in suite 119. Dozens of major players in Omaha’s entrepreneurial scene are located here, including web and graphic design companies What Cheer, Secret Penguin, and Grain & Mortar, Birdhouse Interior Design, photographers Minorwhite, cinematography studio Torchwerks, TACKarchetects, community engagement evangelists MindMixer, and more. The full list of current tenants is on The Mastercraft website, and there are even more amazing tenants coming in soon (but we’ll let them make those announcements themselves). Our community here is open, collaborative, and always willing to lend feedback, advice, and even a skateboard lesson or a frisbee match.
