FAQS

Who should attend? 

We welcome baking professionals at any and every stage in their professional journey, as well as baking enthusiasts of all stripes.  We hope to fill Camp, though, with baking professionals who stand to benefit the most from our immersive and impactful Camp programming.  At this time, Camp Bread is open only to active Guild members.  

How much does Camp cost? 

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, we are able to offer our tickets at a more affordable rate compared to other events of similar scale and duration. Their financial contributions play a crucial role in offsetting the costs of Camp, making it accessible to a broader audience. And, we have created two tiers of ticket prices to encourage teams to attend Camp. 

If you are facing a financial barrier, please contact us at info@bbga.org and we will work with you so that you can attend Camp Bread.
