Mark your calendars and pack your bicycle bags—Art Toolkit joins Swift Industries as a key Swift Campout presenting partner from Saturday, June 21st through Sunday, June 22nd, 2025.

Join Art Toolkit Founder Maria Coryell-Martin at the flagship event on Vashon Island to practice gesture, contour, and thumbnail sketches to quickly capture a sense of place and encourage creative flow. We’ll provide attendees with Art Toolkit travel palettes, brushes, and paper!

Swift Campout returns for its 11th edition, inviting adventurers worldwide to celebrate the summer solstice with a weekend of bikepacking under the stars.

What began as a grassroots idea from Seattle-based bicycle bag brand Swift Industries has grown into an international phenomenon, inspiring thousands of riders from all over the world with one shared purpose: to get outside, slow down, and kick off summer with a bikepacking trip.

“Swift Campout is our love letter to the bikepacking community,” says Swift co-founder Martina Brimmer. “It’s about turning down the everyday dial, reconnecting, and building a global community.”

This year, Swift is also bringing back the Swift Campout Video Challenge! Co-hosted with Bikepacking.com, the Swift Campout Video Challenge is back with over $5,000 in adventure-ready prizes, including a Pelago Stavanger, and gear from Swift Campout’s presenting partners (including a Pocket Art Toolkit and paint-filled palette!) for the winning filmmaker.
