Creating Your Account
Creating a WorkCampConnect account is free and only takes a few minutes. Follow these steps to get started.
Step 1 — Visit the Registration Page
Go to workcampconnect.com/register and you will see the account creation form.
Step 2 — Choose How You Travel
Pick Solo, Couple, or Crew / Family. One membership per household — couples and crews pay the same as a solo member. See Signing Up as a Couple or Signing Up as a Crew or Family for tier-specific steps.
Step 3 — Fill in Your Details
Enter your first name, last name, a unique username, your email address, a secure password, and a valid mobile phone number (US or Canada).
Phone number is required. WorkCampConnect requires a phone number for every new account — it’s used to verify your identity instantly by text message and to protect against fraudulent signups. Your number is never shown to other members and is never sold or shared with third parties. See our Privacy Policy (Section 6) for full details on how phone numbers are handled.
About your username: your @handle is your public identity in the community. You get one username change for the life of the account — after you use it, your username becomes permanent. Usernames are automatically screened for appropriateness at registration. Choose something you will be happy with long-term. See Username & Display Name Rules for full details on what is and isn't allowed, and Changing Your Username for how the one-change policy works.
Step 4 — Agree to Terms
Check the boxes to agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and confirm you are 16 or older.
Step 5 — Verify Your Account
After submitting the form, you’ll receive a 6-digit verification code by text message. Enter the code on the verification screen to activate your account instantly.
You will also receive a verification email from [email protected]. If you prefer, you can click the link in that email instead of entering the SMS code — either method activates your account. If you don’t see the email, check your spam or junk folder.
Step 6 — You're In!
Once verified, you will be welcomed to the platform and your 7-day Full Hookup free trial begins automatically — no credit card required. You can start exploring the community forum, member map, and job board right away. After 7 days, your account moves to the free Base Camp tier with no obligation, unless you choose to upgrade.
