Camp Yoshi
Founded by Chef Rashad Frazier, his wife Shequeita, and his brother Ron, Camp Yoshi connects BIPOC travelers to the great outdoors. They immerse their voyagers into the wilderness through exclusive tours, including excursions to volcanic mountains, walks through peaceful vineyards, hikes up crashing waterfalls, and more.
Camp Yoshi prides itself on their origins – and for good reason! Camp Yoshi was founded during the surge of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 when Rashad Frazier planned trips to remote locations to escape the tensions of daily life. Now, he and his team work together to help travelers of all kinds journey across the wild and beautiful regions of the world.
Are you interested in one of their exclusive camping journeys? You can find them on their website or see what they’re up to on their Instagram or other social media pages. No matter how you camp, it’s essential to do it right, and Camp Yoshi is the perfect team to help you do that!
