Campfire is a virtual gathering space for organizations and teams. It allows people to connect, communicate, and have fun no matter where they're located. When working remotely, it's easy sometimes to feel like you don't know your co-workers all that well. That happens because even though we all know how to interact and build relationships in person, understanding how to bring that into a distributed work environment is a new skill that we're all just starting to learn. Thankfully, Campfire takes the awkwardness out of virtual get-togethers, team-building, and brainstorming. The platform provides a virtual world where co-workers can play games and interact with each other's avatars in a retro, engaging, and low-pressure atmosphere. One of the great things about Campfire is that groups of all sizes can easily use it. It's equally great for large corporate teams, small startups, family businesses, and educational institutions.
How Do You Use Campfire
Teams can use Campfire to cultivate a natural, organic, and fluid social environment, even when working remotely. Campfire has a variety of casual games and activities that co-workers can play as part of engaging with each other and building positive workplace bonds. These activities allow people to know each other's communication styles and glimpse nuances of skill and personality outside typical everyday work-based activities. Campfire acts as a virtual gathering place that can be whatever your team needs it to be. The platform can be used as a virtual water cooler or as a place to unwind, socialize, re-energize, and build morale.
How Does Cal Fit In?
Cal is the open-source platform of choice for any organization or individual that wants access to flexible, customizable, secure, and white-label-friendly calendar scheduling and appointment booking infrastructure. What Cal does is simple, we take the back and forth out of arranging meetings. People can spend their time and energy connecting and making extraordinary things happen rather than cross-comparing schedules. Using Cal with Campfire makes it easy to book a time when you can hang out with your team members and play games like kart racing, soccer, and trapdoor. We all know that appointments make the world go round, but not all are about budgets and timelines. Some appointments are used to assess group morale, share uplifting news, or just connect on a human level.

At Cal, we don't expect one size to fit all, which is why we're constantly working to ensure our product lets you communicate the way you want to, using the platforms that work for you.
