2016 & 2017
Welcome Woody!
Andi & Paul want to have adventures together, as flexible and close to nature as possible. The solution: their first own camper, "Woody". But how do you finance your own camper while you're studying? Rent it out when you don't need it yourself. And the right name for the two camper boys' start-up?
Well, CamperBoys!
2018
Hi, we are the CamperBoys
Let's take it seriously: The CamperBoys complete various start-up courses at Unternehmer-TUM and take part in the LMU IEC. Woody comes into good hands & new VW Beach Campers become part of the CamperBoys fleet.
2019
Home sweet home: Munich airport
Andi and Paul open the first official CamperBoys location at Munich Airport. Briefing, handover, cleaning: It's a two-man job.
2020
Together we can!
With a crowdfunding campaign & combined (wo)manpower, CamperBoys is bridging the corona-related lockdown. And the start-up will be sending 33 campers out on the road again in the summer.
2021 & 2022
CamperBoys grows. Fast.
A total of 8 locations are opened in Germany and the team grows to over 80 CamperBoys & Girls. In addition, there is now a Trip Planner, today's Off Guide. And if you don't like planning your own trip, you can now book travel tips.
2023
CamperBoys? Off!
What began with the two CamperBoys Andi & Paul is now a group of over 140 wonderfully diverse people. Outdoor nerds, creative minds, camping enthusiasts, technology freaks, nature lovers and much more. The team is colorful, diverse and great and it's clear: CamperBoys needs a new name.
And now...
We are Off
Off is more authentic, louder, more direct and, above all, more diverse! "We wanted to create a brand that is different and that fully reflects our values. A brand that doesn't exclude anyone. A brand that reflects on the outside what we have always been on the inside."
Now the same team is working on this one old goal with a new name, new design and new ambition: unique experiences for everyone who wants to be outdoors. Everyone who is up for adventure.
Off to new adventures.
