Support monarchs and our mission: plant milkweed and wildflowers
Founder & Secretary, Camp Monarch
Scott Welzbacher is a seasoned software development professional known for his creative, out-of-the-box problem-solving approaches. His passion for innovation extends beyond the digital realm—over the past four years, he has been building out camper vans and renting them to those seeking to immerse themselves in nature. This unique venture reflects his commitment to helping others experience the natural world in an intimate, accessible way. Scott’s lifestyle is a testament to his belief in connecting with nature and embracing the tranquility of the outdoors.
One quiet day by a creek, Scott found his mind filled with the constant chatter of thoughts—a steady background noise of ideas and reflections. In that moment, he noticed a tiger swallowtail in striking black and white, its wings moving with the delicate grace of a carefully painted sketch. Time seemed to slow as he observed this singular creature, and he felt an invitation to quiet his mind, letting go of internal chatter to simply be present.
This encounter has become a guiding touchstone for Scott, reinforcing his belief that moments of stillness and deep connection with nature are vital. At Camp Monarch, he is driven to cultivate initiatives that blend innovative approaches with the mindful, restorative power of nature—encouraging others to pause, reflect, and rediscover the beauty in the natural world.
"Pause, observe, and let nature's quiet moments remind you of what truly matters. In these moments of stillness, we find the inspiration to make a meaningful impact on our world."
