Datumo Camp 2025: Getting to know each other even better

This year, the Datumo Camp took place from May 30th to June 1st in the serene and beautiful surroundings of Mirabelkowe Zacisze. As always, we immersed ourselves in nature where our team could unwind, reconnect, and enjoy time away from the computer. Our annual company event continues to be the cornerstone in maintaining a healthy team spirit while working remotely. From relaxing spa sessions to evening bonfires, every moment was designed to build connections and offer a welcome respite from our daily duties. In this blog, we’ll take you through how we spent the weekend - and why these get-togethers are so vital for remote teams like ours.

The importance of connecting and team bonding events

At Datumo, we have been working remotely since 2017, so creating meaningful in-person interactions is something we truly value. Our annual Datumo Camp is not just a fun getaway, it’s an opportunity to reinforce the culture of collaboration and trust that keeps our teams thriving across distances.

Set against the backdrop of lush orchards and open skies, Mirabelkowe Zacisze was the perfect spot to refresh our minds and deepen our connections-something even the best video calls can’t quite replace.

Friday: Arrival and a taste of nature‍

The weekend kicked off on Friday afternoon as team members began to arrive at the cozy cottages of Mirabelkowe Zacisze. The tranquil atmosphere and blooming orchards immediately set the tone for our relaxation weekend. After everyone settled in, our CEO - Piotr Guzik, kicked off the retreat by welcoming everybody and setting the tone for a weekend of connection and relaxation. We then gathered around the BBQ, officially opening the 2025 Datumo Camp. As night fell, the calm of the countryside helped everybody truly relax and begin to unwind.

Saturday: Wellness, walks, and craft beer‍

We began Saturday with a leisurely breakfast before diving into the day’s activities. Some team members opted for peaceful walks among the nearby orchards, soaking in the scents and sounds of early summer. Others embraced total relaxation with soothing sauna and jacuzzi sessions, giving their bodies a well-deserved pampering.

The afternoon brought something special - a visit to the local Browarka brewery. The Master Brewer himself guided us through the brewing process and we had the pleasure of sampling a variety of truly original craft beers, made from locally sourced ingredients.

When we made our way back to the Mirabelkowe Zacisze, we spent more time unwinding, laughing, and simply enjoying each other's company. The laid-back atmosphere helped us recharge and appreciate the opportunity to connect outside a working environment. In the evening, we gathered around the campfire to roast sausages and there was laughter and conversations late into the night.

Sunday: Farewells and lasting memories‍

We all sat down to a hearty breakfast on Sunday morning followed by a few more peaceful walks for those who had the energy and wanted to savor the last moments in Mirabelkowe Zacisze. Refreshed and somewhat reluctantly, we slowly packed up our things and got ready for our homeward journeys. These retreats always seem to leave a big impression. They reinforce the human side of remote work, reminding us who the people really are behind the Slack messages and video calls. Shared experiences like these build trust, improve communication and create a stronger, more unified team. We would like to thank everyone who took part in this year's get-together. While we were sad that not everyone could join us, we truly hope that next year we’ll be able to gather the whole team together!

Afterthoughts ‍

The 2025 Datumo Camp once again proved that in-person retreats are invaluable for remote workers. This year’s escape into nature, with a mix of relaxation, laughter and local flavor, helped us reconnect and return to work with renewed energy.

Whether soaking in the jacuzzi, exploring orchards or raising a glass at the local brewery, we tried to show the whole team that Datumo is more than just a workplace - it’s a community.
